We are looking for an experienced Yard Shunter to join our Washington depot, supporting a busy chilled logistics operation. This is a dedicated yard-based role, ideal for someone who has previous shunting experience and is looking for a stable, consistent shunting position rather than a driving role on the road.

• Moving trailers safely on and off loading bays throughout the shift.
• Supporting yard safety by monitoring, patrolling and maintaining safe yard movements.
• Operating a dedicated yard-based shunting vehicle.
• Helping ensure trailers are positioned correctly and loaded on time.
• Working closely with the transport and warehouse teams to keep the operation running smoothly.
• Liaise with other departments to support smooth loading and unloading.
• Maintain high standards of health, safety, hygiene and housekeeping.

Shift pattern: Friday to Monday from 18:00 - 06:00

• Previous yard shunting experience is strongly preferred.
• Someone who wants a dedicated shunting role and understands the pace, safety standards and responsibility of working in a busy yard environment.
• Current or previous Class 1 licence experience is preferred, although the role is yard-based and does not involve public road driving as part of the core duties.
• A safety-first approach and confidence moving trailers in a live operational environment.
• Reliability, good communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a wider transport team.
