Warehouse Operative - Nights

Are you looking for a position in which you keep things moving and deliver when it matters most? If so, then you could be the newest addition to our team as a Warehouse Operative.

Working 4 on 4 off, 19:00–07:00, you’ll play a key role in our night‑time warehouse operation. This is a largely solo‑working role, requiring someone who can get stuck in and keep operations moving safely and efficiently.

• Loading and unloading trailers safely
• Allocating orders as needed using warehouse systems
• Completing general hygiene and cleaning duties
• Operating MHE including FLT or T20 (training/licences advantageous)
• Working independently while maintaining strong communication with the team
• Carrying out any other reasonable tasks to support night operations

You’ll ideally have a FLT or T20 licence/training, with experience working nights or in fast‑paced warehouse environments. Knowledge of allocation systems or Oracle is an advantage, but not essential. You’ll be someone who can work confidently on your own or as part of a team, with a practical mindset and the ability to solve problems as they arise. Hard‑working, organised, and calm under pressure, you’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy responsibility and can multitask effectively.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.

Join the movement and grow with us.

Now about what we can give you. You’ll be able to access some fantastic benefits such as:

• Life assurance cover
• Contributory company pension scheme
• Holiday Purchase Scheme
• Free ferry travel for up to 4 guests between Dover and Calais / Newcastle and Amsterdam with no limit on trips
• Full employee assistance programme including:
• Proactive financial, emotional, mental, and physical health care support including face to face counselling, fast 24/7 access to a GP, a second medical opinion and legal support for colleagues and their family.
• Huge range of retail discounts from high street and online retailers
• Cashback on health care including dental, optical, physiotherapy, prescriptions, specialist consultations and much more.
• Access to my Strength, our Wellbeing platform, which has plenty of content to support and improve your mental wellness needs.
• Access to mental health first aid and opportunity to join support webinars with a focus on all areas of positive wellbeing.

While you’re with us, we want you to develop. At DFDS, we believe that development happens first and foremost through activities in the workplace. We will also offer training courses that can support you in your role, if needed.
