Job Description The Tasks:What Your Day Looks Like
As a DPD Driver, you are the final, vital link between us and our customers. Your day is active, varied, and tech-integrated.
- Vehicle Prep & Loading: Start your shift by conducting daily vehicle safety checks. You’ll then take charge of your morning load, organising your parcels into your van to ensure maximum efficiency for your specific route.
- Route Mastery: Use our top-tier handheld technology to navigate your territory. Our software doesn't just give you a map; it provides "predict" windows for customers, making your journey smoother and more professional.
- Customer Interaction: You are the face of DPD. You’ll be delivering smiles and parcels directly to doorsteps, providing a friendly, professional service that keeps our customers coming back.
- Problem Solving on the Go: Whether it's finding a "safe place" or navigating a tricky apartment complex, you’ll use your local knowledge and our tech to ensure a successful first-time delivery.
- Safe Handling: You will be responsible for the security of your vehicle and the items within it, safely handling parcels (some weighing up to 25kg) from the depot to the final destination.
- You’ve held a valid UK Driving Licence for at least 12 months.
- You’re physically fit (can handle parcels up to 30kg).
- You’re a "people person" who's professional and reliable and you care about the service you deliver
