Our Client
Join the team behind one of Europe’s busiest and most unique transport systems.
We're hiring reliable, safety-focused, and customer-oriented individuals to support Eurotunnel — the high-speed vehicle shuttle service connecting the UK and France.
This is your opportunity to be part of a fast-paced, hands-on environment, where no two days are the same. You'll be part of a close-knit, professional team helping ensure the safety and smooth movement of freight vehicles and passengers.
The Role: Freight Safety & Securing Operative
In this dual-role position, you’ll be responsible for both operational safety and customer interaction. You'll work on-site at the Eurotunnel terminal, ensuring vehicles are secure and passengers are supported from arrival to departure, working shifts across a 24/7 period.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

You’ll Need
Strong customer service skills and a friendly, approachable manner. Confident verbal and written communication. Physical fitness for manual tasks and on-your-feet work. High attention to detail and commitment to safety protocols. Willingness to work shifts, weekends, and holidays. Previous experience in logistics, transport, or customer service (preferred). Full UK driving licence (desirable).
Requirements
