Are you an experienced Transport Manager who enjoys being hands-on and making things happen?
We are working with a well-established bakery business that is going through an exciting period of investment and transformation. They are looking for a Transport Manager to take ownership of their transport operation and help drive it forward.
The Role
You will manage a team of 25 drivers and 3 night-shift supervisors, overseeing the delivery of fresh bakery products to 115 stores across 17 routes.
This is a hands-on role where you will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the operation, improving driver retention and ensuring deliveries run smoothly.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Managing drivers, supervisors and the daily transport operation.
* Overseeing 17 multi-drop delivery routes.
* Improving driver retention and reducing turnover.
* Maintaining and improving transport compliance.
* Managing the O Licence requirements.
* Reviewing transport processes and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency.
* Working closely with the senior management team to improve the operation.
About You
We are looking for someone with experience in a fast-paced, multi-drop transport environment. You may be a Transport Manager, Head of Transport or an experienced Transport Supervisor ready to take the next step.
You will ideally have experience within food, bakery, FMCG or retail distribution, with a strong understanding of driver management and transport compliance.
Most importantly, you will be someone who can cope with pressure, bring structure to a busy operation and get stuck in when needed.
The Opportunity
This is a great opportunity to join a business investing heavily in its future. With new equipment, vehicles and wider operational improvements planned, you will have the chance to make a real difference and help shape the next stage of the transport operation.
If you are looking for a role where you can take ownership, improve processes and see the impact of your work, we would love to hear from you.
