Job Purpose: Deanta UK Ltd is a leading supplier of premium internal doors, operating a national distribution fleet from our Ely headquarters and Haydock depot. As part of a major transformation of our transport operation, we are seeking a commercially minded, highly analytical leader to drive transport network performance through data, optimisation, technology, and continuous improvement.

This is not a traditional transport operations management role; it is a strategic position focused on network efficiency, route optimisation, performance analytics, systems implementation, and operational transformation

This senior leadership position is responsible for overseeing transport planning, operational performance, fleet utilisation, compliance, and continuous improvement across a multi-site distribution network. The role is primarily based in Ely, with occasional travel to other company depots as required.

You will lead the optimisation of the transport network across planning and operational teams, using data-driven insights, technology, and continuous improvement methodologies to strengthen service levels, maximise efficiency, lower operating costs, and foster a high-performing and engaged driver workforce.

Responsibilities:

Lead the overall transport operation across planning, routing, fleet operations, and execution.
Drive transport network optimisation initiatives to improve service performance, fleet utilisation, route efficiency, and operating costs.
Oversee route optimisation, transport planning, and operational delivery.
Develop and drive KPI reporting frameworks to monitor performance and deliver improvements in service, utilisation, and cost management.
Analyse network driver performance and fleet utilisation to uncover efficiency opportunities and enhance operational effectiveness.
Lead driver recruitment and retention strategy, recruitment planning, salary and bonus structures, and performance management processes, alongside direct reports.
Manage transport budgets, subcontractor usage, and fleet utilisation.
Ensure compliance with Operator Licence requirements, Drivers’ Hours Regulations, the Working Time Directive, and Driver CPC regulations.
Lead continuous improvement initiatives across transport systems, processes, and performance.

Skills & Experience Required

Proven experience in transport planning, network optimisation, logistics performance improvement, or transport operations leadership within a UK multi-drop distribution environment.
Previous experience leading the implementation and rollout of new software systems.
Strong understanding of UK transport compliance, including Drivers’ Hours Regulations, Working Time Directive, Driver CPC, and Operator Licence requirements.
Transport Manager CPC (Road Haulage) desirable, or equivalent experience operating within a UK Operator Licence environment.
Advanced Excel and strong BI tooling skills are required
Strong leadership experience managing transport teams, operational performance, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Personal Attributes:

Data-driven and commercially minded with a strong focus on efficiency and service performance.
Proactive and solutions-focused, with the ability to take ownership and drive change.
Calm and resilient under pressure in a fast-paced operational environment.
Excellent communicator with strong stakeholder management skills.
Hands-on, adaptable, and collaborative in approach.

Pay: £60,000.00-£65,000.00 per year
