  • Work collaboratively with planning, operations, compliance, H&S and wider business stakeholders
  • Use data and systems (e.g. Microlise, Paragon, tachograph systems) to inform decisions and improvements
  • Maintain full compliance with Operator Licence requirements and driver regulations

Requirements:

  • Proven senior leadership experience within a large transport operation
  • A transport background within FMCG, agriculture or similar sectors is highly desirable

  • High personal energy level and commitment

  • 33 days holiday including bank holidays, with option to purchase additional holidays
  • Company health care plan and sick pay scheme
