Job Description:

A growing logistics and distribution business is looking to appoint a Transport Operations Manager to take control of a busy, fast-moving operation. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll be responsible for keeping transport running efficiently, safely, and on time.

This is not a desk-based role, you’ll be on the ground, managing teams, solving problems, and driving performance daily.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee daily transport operations, ensuring timely and efficient delivery
  • Manage driver teams, performance, and day-to-day issues
  • Ensure full compliance with transport regulations, driver hours, and tachographs
  • Monitor fleet utilisation, routing, and cost efficiency
  • Deal with operational challenges quickly and effectively
  • Work closely with internal teams to maintain service levels across key contracts
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency

What You’ll Bring

  • Previous experience managing transport operations in a logistics or distribution environment
  • Strong understanding of compliance, fleet management, and operational delivery
  • A hands-on, solutions-focused approach
  • Ability to lead from the front and manage teams in a high-pressure environment
  • Strong organisational and communication skills

Why Apply

  • Opportunity to take real ownership of a critical operation
  • Fast-paced environment with no two days the same
  • Business that values people who get stuck in and deliver results

If you’re a driven Transport Manager who thrives in an operational environment and can hit the ground running, apply now or get in touch for a confidential chat.
