Run the operation. Lead the team. Own the outcome.

We're looking for a hands-on Transport Manager to take full ownership of our transport function and join the site leadership team. You'll run a nationwide operation of 60+ vehicles, manage an office team of 5, and have real influence over a business-critical part of the company.

• Running daily transport operations, hitting service, cost and compliance targets
• Leading, coaching and developing your office team and driver workforce
• Keeping the fleet maintained, legal and compliant with O-Licence standards via approved service providers
• Tracking performance, solving problems in real time and driving improvement
• Acting as a key voice in the site leadership team

With a mixed fleet of artics and rigids under an O-Licence. A CPC isn't essential — but you must be prepared to work towards it and gain it within your first 12 months.

• Proven experience managing a transport operation
• Genuine leadership ability — people follow you because they want to
• A proactive, organised approach with an eye for detail
• Solid grounding in transport compliance, vehicle maintenance and route planning
• Flexibility, including the occasional early start
• A supportive culture where good ideas get heard and progression is genuinely available
