The role involves operating a counterbalance forklift and carrying out warehouse duties during night shifts. Responsibilities typically include loading and unloading vehicles, moving and storing goods safely, picking and preparing shipments, checking stock, completing paperwork or scanning tasks, and maintaining a clean, safe work area. Candidates should hold a valid counterbalance FLT licence or recognised qualification, have warehouse or forklift experience, and be able to follow instructions and health and safety procedures. Reliability, punctuality, physical fitness, attention to detail and the ability to work independently at night are important. Flexibility, teamwork and a commitment to DHL’s service and security standards are also expected.

In the United Kingdom, the company employs people across warehouses, transport hubs, delivery operations, offices and specialist logistics sites. Its work supports customers in industries including retail, healthcare, technology, manufacturing and automotive. DHL places strong emphasis on safety, operational reliability, teamwork, customer service and sustainability. Warehouse and forklift employees play an important role in moving goods efficiently through the company’s distribution network.
The United Kingdom offers regular opportunities in warehousing, logistics, transport, manufacturing, retail distribution and delivery, particularly around major cities, ports and industrial areas. Workplace culture generally values punctuality, safety, teamwork, clear communication and respect for procedures. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to quieter rural communities, with good public transport in many cities but higher housing costs in London and the South East. EU and non-EU nationals normally need the correct immigration permission to work; a job offer alone does not automatically provide the right to work. Many warehouse roles may not qualify for sponsored visas, so applicants should check current UK visa rules and employer sponsorship eligibility. Before relocating, arrange proof of right to work, accommodation, a National Insurance number where applicable, banking, transport and any required forklift certification recognition. The UK has four nations, each offering different regional cultures, landscapes and living costs.
