7.5 Tonne Collection and Delivery Driver

Responsibilities

• Get behind the wheel of a 7.5 Tonne vehicle.
• You’ll be cruising local routes, keeping it safe, professional, and efficient.

Requirements

• A valid 7.5 Tonne (C1) licence and DQC/CPC accreditation.
• You’re physically active and comfortable with the lifting involved in the job.

The Role

We’re looking for someone to take the wheel and own a designated local route. You aren’t just moving boxes; you’re the final boss of the delivery game, ensuring every parcel hits its destination with 10/10 service. With around 40 - 50 stops a day, you’ll be the ultimate problem-solver, navigating your community and making life easier for our customers. Your role is vital in providing a service that genuinely makes a difference to our customers.

Master the Tech

No paper maps here. You’ll use our industry-leading Saturn handheld devices. It’s basically your mission control for tracking progress, managing deliveries, and staying ahead of the game.

The Main Character Energy

You’re the friendly face our customers see every day. Whether it’s a quick "hello" or a helpful drop-off, your energy defines the DPD experience.

The Hustle

You’ll be loading and unloading parcels, using high-end gear like sack barrows and hand trucks to handle the heavy lifting safely. Think of it as a paid workout while you're on the move. If you’re someone who loves autonomy, stays tech-savvy, and enjoys being out in the real world rather than stuck behind a screen, this is your lane.

Experience

Ideally 6 months recent driving experience handling 7.5 Tonne vehicles.

Vibe

You’re professional, approachable, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Values

You care about doing a good job and treat customers and colleagues with respect. Ready to start? If you have the drive and the DPD DNA to succeed, we want to hear from you.
