DHL is seeking an LGV Class 1 Driver and Shunter to provide night-shift cover in the United Kingdom. Candidates should hold a valid LGV/HGV Class 1 licence, Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), and an operator or tachograph card. Previous experience with trunking, yard shunting, trailer movements, vehicle checks, and transport operations is desirable. The role requires safe, professional driving, accurate completion of paperwork, compliance with drivers’ hours and company procedures, and effective communication with the transport team. Applicants should be reliable, safety-conscious, physically capable, comfortable working nights, and flexible when covering shifts. A strong customer-service attitude and willingness to work independently are also expected.

In the United Kingdom, DHL employs drivers, warehouse teams, engineers, customer-service specialists and logistics professionals across a large network of depots, hubs and distribution centres. The company is known for managing international shipments, time-sensitive deliveries and complex supply chains for major commercial customers. Its operations place strong emphasis on safety, compliance, service quality, operational efficiency and environmental improvement. Employees may benefit from structured training, career-development opportunities and the experience of working for a recognised international logistics brand.
The United Kingdom offers substantial employment opportunities in logistics, haulage, warehousing, delivery, manufacturing, technology, healthcare and professional services. Its culture is diverse, with regional differences in accents, food, customs and pace of life. Major cities provide extensive public transport, entertainment and international communities, while smaller towns may offer lower housing costs and easier access to countryside. Living expenses are generally highest in London and the south-east. LGV drivers should consider shift patterns, commuting distances, parking and access to suitable accommodation. For relocation, visa requirements depend on nationality and immigration status. Many overseas workers need employer sponsorship under an eligible work route, while Irish citizens generally have the right to live and work in the UK. Applicants should confirm current rules through GOV.UK and ensure their driving licence and professional qualifications are recognised before accepting employment.
