DHL is seeking a Class 1 (HGV C+E) Driver for a 12am start in the United Kingdom. Applicants should hold a valid UK Category C+E licence, Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), and digital tachograph card. Previous commercial driving experience is preferred, along with a safe driving record and good knowledge of UK roads and transport regulations. The role involves completing planned deliveries and collections, carrying out vehicle safety checks, securing loads, completing delivery paperwork, and maintaining professional customer service. Candidates must be reliable, physically fit, punctual, and comfortable working overnight shifts. Flexibility, safe working practices, and the ability to work independently are essential.
DHL is a global logistics and supply chain company operating across more than 220 countries and territories. It provides express delivery, freight transportation, warehousing, contract logistics, supply chain management and specialist industry services. In the United Kingdom, DHL works with major retailers, manufacturers, healthcare organisations and technology companies, supported by extensive transport, depot and distribution networks. The business employs drivers, warehouse teams, engineers, planners, customer service staff and supply chain specialists. DHL places strong emphasis on safety, operational quality, customer service, sustainability and employee development. Its transport roles typically involve structured routes, compliance with UK driving legislation, vehicle inspections and reliable delivery performance. Benefits may include pension contributions, paid holiday, employee discounts, training and opportunities to progress into supervisory or transport-management positions, although specific terms vary by contract and location.
The United Kingdom is an island country with strong employment opportunities in logistics, transport, warehousing, healthcare, technology, finance, construction and hospitality. Major logistics hubs include London and the South East, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow and the East Midlands. British culture is generally informal, multicultural and respectful of personal space, while punctuality and workplace safety are valued. Living costs vary considerably: London and the South East are expensive, whereas many northern and Welsh cities offer more affordable housing. Public transport is extensive in cities, but a car is often useful for depot-based or overnight work. Most overseas workers need permission to work before arrival, commonly through an eligible sponsored visa; employers may not sponsor every driving vacancy. Applicants should check current UK visa rules, licence-exchange requirements and Driver CPC recognition. Relocation planning should include accommodation, National Insurance, banking, tax registration and transport to work.
