This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced logistics environment, thrives on solving problems and takes pride in delivering exceptional customer service. You'll play a key role in ensuring our transport operation runs safely, efficiently and delivers on our commitment to customers.

About the Role

As Transport Controller, you'll be responsible for coordinating the day-to-day transport operation, supporting our drivers and ensuring deliveries are completed safely, efficiently and on time.

Key Responsibilities

Monitor vehicle movements and delivery progress throughout the day, ensuring deliveries are completed safely and on time.

Respond promptly to operational disruptions, delays, breakdowns and customer issues.

Coordinate the daily dispatch of drivers, ensuring routes are planned and delivered efficiently to meet customer requirements.

Monitor driver performance, attendance and compliance with company policies, transport legislation and safety standards.

Provide day-to-day support, guidance and communication to drivers throughout their shifts.

Support transport improvement projects and operational changes.

Deliver driver inductions, carry out driving assessments and provide additional coaching and training where required.

Promote best practice across transport operations and compliance.

Support other departments during busy periods, holidays and sickness absence.

Undertake any other reasonable duties required to support the successful operation of the business.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an organised and proactive individual with previous transport or logistics experience who enjoys working in a dynamic environment and can make confident decisions under pressure.

You will ideally have:

Previous experience in a Transport Controller, Transport Planner or similar logistics role.

Experience planning within a temperature-controlled distribution or FMCG environment.

A good understanding of UK drivers' hours legislation and transport compliance.

Experience coordinating resources, including drivers and vehicles, to meet operational demands.

Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to build effective working relationships at all levels.

Excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workloads and adapt to changing business needs.

A proactive approach to problem solving and the confidence to make sound operational decisions.

Experience producing and analysing operational data and performance reports.

Good IT skills, including experience using ERP, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management Systems (TMS).

High attention to detail and a commitment to delivering excellent customer service.

A flexible, positive and team-focused approach.

What We Offer

Competitive salary.
