DHL is seeking a permanent Class 1 (HGV Category C+E) Driver for night work in the United Kingdom. Candidates should hold a valid UK Class 1 licence, Driver CPC qualification and a digital tachograph card, with a safe and compliant driving record. Previous experience with articulated vehicles, trunking or parcel and freight distribution is typically preferred. The role requires dependable attendance, punctuality, physical capability for vehicle checks and occasional loading or unloading, and flexibility to work overnight shifts, weekends or public holidays. Candidates are expected to follow road safety, transport legislation and DHL procedures, complete accurate delivery paperwork, and provide professional customer service. A practical approach, good communication skills and the ability to work independently are essential.
DHL is a global logistics and supply-chain company operating across express delivery, freight forwarding, contract logistics and e-commerce fulfilment. It serves businesses and consumers in more than 220 countries and territories, connecting manufacturers, retailers and customers through road, air, sea and warehousing networks. In the United Kingdom, DHL employs drivers, warehouse teams, engineers, planners and business specialists across parcel, freight and supply-chain operations. The company is part of DHL Group and is recognised for its international transport coverage, structured operational processes and focus on safety, service quality and sustainability. Employee benefits vary by business unit and position but may include holiday entitlement, pension contributions, healthcare options, training and staff discounts. This driving role supports the reliable movement of freight during overnight operations, helping customers receive goods on time.
The United Kingdom offers opportunities in logistics, transport, warehousing, healthcare, technology, construction and professional services, with strong demand around London, the Midlands, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol and major ports. British culture is diverse, generally polite and informal, with a strong pub, music, sports and festival tradition. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to quieter coastal and rural communities. Public transport is extensive in cities, although a car is often useful for depot-based driving jobs. Overseas applicants need permission to work before starting; a valid passport, appropriate driving entitlement and, for professional driving, Driver CPC recognition are important. Employer sponsorship is not guaranteed for this position, so candidates should check current UK visa rules and DHL's sponsorship policy. Relocation costs, housing deposits, council tax and winter weather should be planned for. The UK has four nations—England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland—with distinct local identities and regulations.
