This is a Monday to Friday position, carrying out scheduled palletised deliveries to retail stores.

The role involves delivering goods as close to the store delivery point as safely and practically possible using a tail lift and pallet truck. Depending on the individual store, this may involve accessing loading bays, service yards or designated loading areas.

There is no requirement to enter the retail store, handball individual goods or split down pallets.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Carrying out scheduled deliveries to retail stores.

  • Driving a Class 2 vehicle safely and professionally.

  • Delivering palletised goods using a tail lift and pallet truck.

  • Following Drivers' Hours, Working Time and company Health & Safety procedures.

  • Representing Bullet Express professionally while on customer sites.

Important – What This Role Does NOT Involve

This position does not involve:

  • Entering or delivering goods into the retail shop itself.

  • Handballing individual items or boxes.

  • Breaking down or splitting pallets.

  • Replenishing stock or putting goods onto shelves.

Your responsibility is to safely deliver the palletised goods to the agreed delivery/loading area using the vehicle's tail lift and a pallet truck.

Working Hours

This is a 50-hour-per-week, Monday-to-Friday position.

Your normal start times will be:

  • 4 days per week – 07:00 start

  • 1 day per week – 05:00 start

Due to the nature of transport and retail deliveries, some flexibility may occasionally be required depending on traffic, delivery schedules and operational requirements.

What We’re Looking For

The successful candidate should have:

  • A valid Category C / Class 2 driving licence.

  • Valid Driver CPC.

  • Valid Digital Tachograph Card.

  • Previous Class 2 driving experience.

  • Experience with tail-lift and pallet-truck deliveries would be advantageous.

  • A good understanding of Drivers' Hours and Working Time regulations.

  • A strong focus on Health & Safety.

  • Good attention to detail.

  • The confidence to safely manoeuvre a Class 2 vehicle into loading bays and delivery areas.

  • Good communication skills.

  • A professional and customer-focused approach.

  • A reliable and punctual attitude.

  • The ability to work independently and manage your delivery schedule effectively.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means:

  • Deliveries are completed safely, accurately and on time.

  • Palletised goods are unloaded safely using the tail lift and pallet truck.

  • Vehicles and equipment are operated responsibly.

  • Delivery paperwork and PODs are completed accurately.

  • Any delays or access issues are communicated promptly.

  • Health & Safety and driving regulations are followed at all times.

  • Our retail customer receives a professional and reliable delivery service.
