About the Role
This key operational leadership role provides tactical governance across our UK heavy goods vehicle network, empowering site transport teams and safeguarding Operator Licences while driving data-led operational excellence, compliance, and sustainability.
Responsibilities
- Lead & empower regional transport teams: Manage, coach, and develop a team of regional Transport Managers and specialist operational leads across our national network of 5 LGV sites.
- Drive compliance, safety and governance: Act as the ultimate custodian of the company’s Operator Licences (O-Licences), ensuring continuous DVSA audit readiness and strict adherence to driver hours and tachograph regulations.
- Drive operational efficiency & financial control: Manage the national transport budget with a focus on fuel efficiency, empty-running reduction, driver retention, and minimising agency reliance. Standardise hub processes to eliminate ramp delays, reduce vehicle-off-road (VOR) time, optimise cross-docking workflows, and improve OTIF delivery performance.
- Champion digital transformation & sustainability: Leverage telematics, AI, and paperless workflows to streamline site processes, reduce vehicle idling, max out asset utilisation, and hit key carbon-reduction targets in collaboration with the Fleet team.
- Strengthen key stakeholder relationships: Act as the vital operational link between site General Managers, central functions (Planning, People, Training), trade unions, regulatory bodies, and external retail partners.
Requirements
- Certified Transport Manager: You hold a valid Transport Manager CPC (National or International) qualification with proven experience acting as a legal O-Licence holder or custodian.
- Multi-site transport leadership: Proven success leading multi-site heavy transport (LGV/HGV) operations within high-volume grocery, FMCG, retail distribution, or fast-paced logistics environments.
- Data-driven problem solver: Strong analytical mindset with experience managing transport budgets/P&Ls, utilising telematics data, and making strategic operational decisions under ambiguity.
- Influential & resilient leader: Outstanding stakeholder management skills with a track record of building collaborative relationships across operations, trade unions, and demanding commercial partners.
- Mobile & adaptable: Ability to work in a hybrid model with regular travel across our UK network sites (including key hubs such as Dordon and Erith).
