Handle customer queries professionally on-site and liaise back with the warehouse team regarding any delivery issues or discrepancies.

Maintain accurate driver logbooks, timesheets, and fuel records for compliance purposes.

Assist with basic warehouse duties (sorting, staging, or wrapping pallets) during quiet periods or when scheduled back at base.

Skills & Experience

Check delivery paperwork against physical items before departure to ensure 100% order accuracy.

Engage with customers in a polite and professional manner, helping to move items into hallways, garages, or reception areas as requested.

Communicate with the driver and warehouse controller via mobile device regarding delivery delays, access issues, or vehicle breakdowns.

Keep the vehicle cab and loading area clean, tidy, and organised throughout the shift.

Support the driver with post-route paperwork and returns processing back at the depot.

Skills & Experience
Essential:

Physical stamina and strength – must be comfortable with repeated lifting, bending, and walking for extended periods (up to 8–10 hours).

A proactive, can-do attitude with excellent reliability and punctuality.

Basic numeracy and literacy – able to check delivery notes and count stock accurately.

Strong teamwork skills – you must work seamlessly with different drivers on rotation.

Flexibility to start early (typically 06:00) and finish when the route is complete.

A valid right to work in the UK.

Desirable:

Previous warehouse, removals, or labouring experience.

Manual Handling or Health & Safety certification.

Familiarity with GPS apps or delivery tracking devices.

A valid UK driving licence (Category B) – not required, but a bonus for covering driver absences.
