Yard Shunter

We are looking for an experienced Yard Shunter to join our Tilbury 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.

Shift pattern: 4 on 4 off Night Shifts from 18:00 – 06:00

Salary:              £41,262.40

What you’ll be doing

• 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.

What we’re looking for

• 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.

What’s in it for you?

• A consistent 4 on 4 off night shift pattern, working 18:00 to 06:00.
• A dedicated yard-based role with no planned nights out.
• Additional earning potential through overtime opportunities.
• If you hold an active Class 1 licence, there may also be the opportunity to complete driving overtime on days off once trained and authorised.
• The chance to join a busy, established chilled logistics operation at Tilbury.

If you are an experienced Yard Shunter looking for a long-term shunting role with regular night shifts and strong earning potential, we would like to hear from you.
