Dash Express is a leading logistics provider in the South-West, committed to delivering exceptional service and operational excellence. In this Through-the-night Delivery Driver role, you’ll deliver time-sensitive consignments safely and efficiently. With a lower volume of drops (10-15 per shift) and more driving, this role is well suited to someone who loves nothing more than being on the open road.

We provide everything you need to succeed, including a modern fleet, fuel, uniform, and support infrastructure.

• Scan and reconcile items using the Handheld Terminal (HHT); accurately record non-deliveries and discrepancies.
• Complete deliveries and collections to schedule while meeting Dash service and health & safety standards.
• Return to depot; unload, label non-deliveries, and ensure all palletised consignments are accounted for on the HHT.
• Communicate effectively with the operations team regarding delays, issues, or route changes.
• Provide professional customer service.
• Ensure vehicle cleanliness and refuelling at the end of each shift.
• Follow all company policies, including safe driving, roadworthiness, and Working Time guidance.

What We’re Looking For

• Full UK driving licence (Category B) and a clean, safe driving record. Some experience driving 3.5 tonne vans would be great.
• Physically fit and comfortable with regular manual handling / heavy lifting.
• Experience with night-time delivery or courier work is desirable.
• Confident using HHTs / scanning devices and following digital workflows.
• Strong timekeeping, reliability, and attention to detail.
• Customer-focused communicator, comfortable in person and on the phone.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• All of our staff must pass a basic DBS check.

Additional Benefits

• 5.6 weeks holiday entitlement including bank holidays, increasing 1 day per years’ service up to 5 years.
• Excellent training and development opportunities.
• Employee discounts on vehicle rentals, hampers and more!
