Job Description:
Since 1986, Biocair has established a global reputation as a leading GDP logistics specialist within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences sectors. Biocair focuses on providing the most comprehensive time-sensitive and temperature-controlled logistics services available whilst delivering flexible, tailored, cost-effective solutions to all its clients.
Are you an experienced driver looking for casual work to fit in around your life with the flexibility to pick and choose the nights you work?
At Biocair, our Night Drivers are a truly vital part of our organisation. This is not just any Night Driver role; it is one of the most crucial roles in our company where what you do will make a true impact on someone's life. It is not about dropping 200 parcels in one day; it's about ensuring you transport a select number of time-critical and temperature-sensitive consignments in a safe, careful, and timely manner whilst maintaining the highest levels of customer care. This is a busy and fast-paced role with customer care being at the centre of all you do.
Responsibilities will include:
* Ensuring all the correct documentation is accurately completed and processed with the shipment.
* Performing duties to maintain a clean, tidy, and safe warehouse, ensuring all materials are stored in the designated areas.
* Checking and maintaining fridge, freezer, and warm room temperatures, and maintaining accurate records.
* Reporting any shortfalls of packaging stock to ensure minimal stock levels are maintained.
* Maintaining the cleanliness of the vehicles and performing daily and weekly vehicle maintenance checks.
* Building positive working relationships with other drivers, departments, and management to deliver excellent communication and customer service.
Our company values matter, and guide all that we do each day. The successful candidate will be expected to operate in line with them as we strive to be the provider of choice for specialist logistics solutions to the global scientific community; based on the highest levels of care, expertise, and precision.
In addition, you will demonstrate these key competencies:
* Must hold a current, full, Category B (or equivalent) driving license (maximum of 3 points).
* Confident driving a manual transmission.
* Experience of working well under time pressure and maintaining accurate documentation.
* Experience in a cold chain or time-sensitive multimodal freight forwarding or pharmaceutical industry is highly desirable.
* Resilience and the ability to build strong working relationships.
Please note this is a night-time casual worker role, so if you are looking for extra hours based around other commitments, then this could be the role for you.
Based at our Edinburgh office, Monday to Friday shifts ranging between 22:00 and 07:00.
Own transport is essential due to the office location.
This is a UK-based role, and the right to live and work in the UK will need to be established during the recruitment process. We are not currently a Home Office visa sponsorship licence holder.
Biocair provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type.
Please be aware that we are NOT inviting recruitment agencies to submit candidates for this role and as such any approaches will be rejected. Thank you for your understanding.
