DHL is seeking a Class 1 HGV driver for a night-shift position starting at 3pm. The role involves driving articulated vehicles safely and efficiently, completing scheduled collections and deliveries, carrying out vehicle checks, securing loads, and maintaining accurate delivery and tachograph records. Candidates will normally need a valid UK Class 1 (C+E) licence, a current Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), a digital tachograph card, and a strong safety record. Previous commercial driving or logistics experience is preferred. The successful candidate should be reliable, punctual, physically capable, customer-focused, and comfortable working independently during evening and night operations. Flexibility, professional communication, and compliance with DHL procedures are also expected.
DHL is a global logistics and supply chain company operating across more than 220 countries and territories. It provides express parcel delivery, freight transportation, contract logistics, warehousing, e-commerce fulfilment, and supply chain management services. In the United Kingdom, DHL supports major businesses and public-sector organisations with road transport, distribution centres, international shipping, and specialist logistics solutions. The company employs a large workforce across operational, transport, warehouse, customer service, technical, and management roles. DHL places strong emphasis on safety, service quality, sustainability, inclusion, and employee development. Its transport operations depend on professional drivers to move freight reliably between depots, customers, and distribution hubs. Benefits can vary by business division and location but may include competitive pay, holiday entitlement, pension contributions, training, and opportunities for progression.
The United Kingdom offers broad opportunities in logistics, road transport, warehousing, manufacturing, technology, healthcare, construction, and professional services. Its culture is diverse and generally informal, with strong respect for punctuality, personal space, and workplace safety. Lifestyle varies from busy cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham to quieter coastal and rural areas. Public transport is extensive, although a car is often useful for depot-based or night-shift work. Living costs are highest in London and the South East; rents are usually lower in northern England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. UK and Irish citizens have unrestricted work rights. Other nationals generally need a suitable visa, such as the Skilled Worker route, and must meet sponsorship, salary, and eligibility requirements. A UK Class 1 licence and CPC are normally required for HGV driving, and overseas licence holders may need exchange or additional testing before working.
