Trailer Shunter Operatives

TRAILER SHUNTER OPERATIVES (two vacancies)

Northlink

We now have an opportunity for 2 x Trailer Shunter Operatives to support the Serco Northlink Contract on a shift rota basis (9 days on; 3 days off), with excellent renumeration and benefits package available to the successful applicants.

Trailer Shunter Operative duties include but are not limited to, mooring and letting go vessels, moving and securing various trailers, load and unload vehicles to and from the ferries, stow and secure chaining equipment in the dedicated areas.

The successful shunter operatives will have to demonstrate their experience of loading and unloading trailers and preferably have a Driving Licence Class C+E.   Previous knowledge of working on a shunter would be desirable, although training can be provided, as would a forklift licence up to 3 ton, and ADR experience, but not essential.

As you will be representing Petersons, and working closely with Serco Northlink, your focus on delivering excellent customer service and flexibility, is extremely important. You should also be able to communicate with people at all levels, and work well within a team environment.
