An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Trailer Shunter Operative to support the Serco Northlink Contract on a shift rota basis (9 days on; 3 days off), with excellent remuneration and benefits package available to the successful applicant.

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 operative 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 it’s not essential.

As you will be representing Peterson, 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.

 

For an informal chat please contact Craig Lawie, Senior Recruitment Consultant, 01224 288142 or Monica Johnson, Recruitment Administrator, on 01224 288132.
