Job Introduction

ArrowXL are the UK’s leading provider of two-person home delivery who strive to make the world of delivery a better place, by building a business that supports the way we live today. Most of our work is taking responsibility for storing and delivering large, heavy, bulky items – the kind of work that typically needs two people to handle. Quite often these items need installing, which we do too.

We are now recruiting for a Transport Shift Controller to join our busy team in Worcester who will control the daily trailer collection schedules and control vehicle movements onsite, whilst also ensuring the network hits all agreed collection and carousel trunking times.
