Summary
I have worked within the Amazon yard and Gatehouse for the past 4 years and have picked up various understandings of how things work from business to safety aspects. Through this I have developed a good working relationship with drivers and an interest in persuing HGV driving as a career move.
Through working on the TOM Team for the past 4 years I understand the importance of how the shunting/TAP role works and I believe I would be a great candidate to add to the team.
I am currently in the process of completing my C+E heavy goods vehicle driving qualification through Amazon Career Choice.
