Role Overview
As a Courier Driver for the world’s leading logistics company, you are the face of CLIENT. You will be responsible for the daily delivery and collection of international shipments. This is a fast-paced, physical role that requires excellent time management, a "can-do" attitude, and a commitment to providing world-class customer service.
Key Responsibilities
- Delivery & Collection: Efficiently transport, deliver, and collect international parcels and documents within a designated territory.
- Route Planning: Plan and prioritise your daily route to meet specific "Time Definite" delivery windows.
- Vehicle Maintenance: Conduct daily vehicle safety checks and ensure the client van is kept clean and maintained to brand standards.
- Customer Excellence: Provide a professional service at the doorstep, handling customer queries and ensuring all electronic proof of delivery (POD) is captured accurately.
- Security & Safety: Adhere to strict global aviation security protocols and health and safety regulations, including safe manual handling of parcels (up to 25kg).
- Sales Lead Generation: Identify potential new business opportunities while on route and report them to the sales team.
- Driving Licence: A full UK Driving Licence (Category B) with no more than 6 penalty points.
- Experience: Previous experience in multi-drop delivery or a fast-paced logistics environment is highly advantageous but not essential.
- Physical Fitness: Ability to handle the physical demands of the role, including lifting and carrying parcels.
- Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills for interacting with customers and the operations team.
- Geographical Knowledge: Good knowledge of the local area and the ability to use GPS/Satellite Navigation effectively.
Due to our operations within regulated aviation environments (CAA), all successful candidates must pass a rigorous security clearance process:
- DBS Check: A clean, enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
- 5-Year Reference History: You must provide a full, checkable 5-year history of employment, education, or gaps (unemployment).
- Right to Work: Valid proof of right to work in the UK.
- Security Training: Completion of mandatory Cargo Operative aviation security training (provided by Client).
