Night Shift Traffic Operator Felixstowe
Monday night to Friday night
20:00–06:00
This is a new role within a well-established Felixstowe container operator with a strong reputation and long-standing customer base.
This is a key role designed to manage our small night fleet, handle driver queries, respond to operational issues, and ensure our day planners arrive to a well-organised start each morning.
“Unlike many night transport roles, you won’t be overseeing dozens of vehicles. Typically, you’ll be supporting between two and five working vehicles as it grows, alongside monitoring our truck parking facility calls and handling occasional out-of-hours calls.
This role suits someone who enjoys proper planning responsibility, working closely with our night shift drivers and customers night teams. Enjoy being an essential part of a team that takes pride in doing things the right way.” Dave Burgess – Co-director
