HGV Class 1 and Class 2 on both day and night shift schedules. We run lots of artic trucks, rigids and 7.5tonners right throughout the day and evening so plenty of scope here always. Delivering with curtain side vehicles and tail lifts with electric and manual pump trucks. We are a palletised freight network and move a lot of them daily. A fast-paced environment where a skilled driver is essential. As well as LGV Luton Van Drivers. We also love forklift and van-driving hybrid roles.
Warehouse operatives at MSD must all hold a standard counterbalance forklift licence. It is advantageous to also hold a reach FLT licence. A lot of staff today as part of being a warehouse FLT operative also like to go out in our Luton vans. This works very well for business needs but is not limited to being mandatory. Managers for warehouses and facilities are also areas we look for here in this area.
We are an award-winning business. We achieve that by customer retention and that is only possible by having a great customer service attitude to go the extra mile and make it happen for our customers. We are not a business who don’t care about our work or clients so as such if you heading for MSD in this area then you need to bring your A-game and fire to the role. Communication, attention to detail, responsive and proactive. As well as being computer literate to navigate multiple networking systems is a big plus. Our customers today expect the best. Can you meet that? Administrators and heads of customer service are what we look for here.
Logistics is a fluid environment. Volumes of customer freight can swing up and down at any time. Can you react to this pressure? When drivers are feeling the heat to help deliver on time, are you able to navigate those demands? Can you piece together the best route, best planning, and best pre-planning for tomorrow and onward return journeys? We have many customers in many areas all needing the same thing and sometimes at similar points of the day. How do you do that? How does MSD do that? We’ll show you and then you need to push go and help us to get it done. Administrators and Coordinators are what we look for here. As well as planners.
Our team of transport professionals can not watch everything at all times. They can administer and coordinate but being part of operations is having the bigger picture for best practice and bringing to the table solutions to make it even slicker. Looking for the gaps and finding new opportunities. Helping ensure safety and efficient overall 24-hour operations run spot on. Supervisors and Managers are what we look for in this area.
We are governed by DVSA compliance and policies. Safety comes first within our business both out on the road and here at our site locations. It is vital that we run a professional business and as such we have managers and coordinators in this department to help oversee this who work closely with transport and operations to keep our wheels moving in the correct way. No stone unturned or overlooked. MSD loves the compliance word.
We are an award-winning business. We engage with new business enquiries quickly, we interact with social media and marketing and love to gain new conversations with all types of businesses. We also are very proud of our long-standing customer base so building rapport with current customers is what we do best. Sales, marketing, social media, business engagement and business development as well as accounts handling are all part of the commercial team at MSD.
We are proud of those who work with us. We try and offer the best working environment we can with a fair and balanced HR overseeing the teams. Lots of benefits to working for MSD such as gym memberships, flexible working patterns and being approachable to get your work/life balance set up in a way which helps you achieve while working for a company. Being part of HR means you must follow the business needs of running employees but also listen and understand the needs of our team members. You must be a dynamic character to be part of this.
We look for experience and skillsets in all our staff. Occasionally we need to bring in additional management-style roles whose level sits above the standard manager role. You may have worked in other companies before and you have new ideas and ways of doing things which may not mirror our culture. However, you may also bring a new vibe completely and help enhance what we have built. If you have worked in logistics before and/or managed a large organisation then you may well have a foundation that breathes well at MSD.

Long-term staff is what we look for. How do we do that? By giving you a culture to be creative and dynamic, and think outside the box in whatever department or role you play. Don’t just follow the process, make sure you meet that expectation but help us develop the process and enhance it. Our customers need more than just a “it’s only a job” attitude so we look for and expect more. If you have that in you, then welcome to MSD!
We are a close team and want people to build their ambitions within our organisation. We want to grow with you and as such have training and development programs to see you succeed within your skillset.
