Job Description

We are Culina Logistics – a multi award winning supply chain specialist working with retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers across the UK. We live by a simple set of values: to delight our customers, maximise our efficiency, be socially responsible and to promote being an employer of choice.

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.

Qualifications

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.

Additional Information

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.

In return, we offer:

• Life Insurance of x2 annual salary in the event of death whilst employed by the company
• Competitive Pension Scheme
• Recognition schemes for our exceptional employees
