Head of Transport Operations

Role Purpose

The Head of Transport Operations is responsible for the day-to-day operational management of Flannery Plant Hire’s transport fleet, ensuring plant, machinery, and attachments are moved efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively between depots and customer sites.

This role is operationally driven, focusing on fleet utilisation, transport planning, depot coordination, driver performance, and service delivery. Compliance and regulatory requirements are overseen but are not the primary focus of the role.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the daily transport operation across all depots, ensuring smooth coordination of vehicle movements and minimal downtime.
Oversee transport planning and scheduling, balancing customer demand, depot capacity, and fleet availability.
Drive high levels of fleet utilisation, reducing empty mileage and improving turnaround times.
Act as the senior escalation point for transport issues impacting customer delivery.
Work closely with Depot Managers, Transport Managers, and Planners to align transport activity with operational priorities.
Ensure consistent transport processes and ways of working across all locations.
Provide leadership to transport and fleet teams, setting clear expectations around performance, productivity, and service.
Support depot-level transport teams in managing driver resources, shift patterns, and workload peaks.
Promote a strong operational culture focused on accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
Monitor and improve transport KPIs such as delivery performance, utilisation, cost per movement, and downtime.
Identify opportunities to reduce operating costs through smarter planning, asset sharing between depots, and fleet optimisation.
Support fleet investment decisions by providing operational insight on vehicle types, numbers, and deployment.
Drive effective use of transport management systems, telematics, and planning tools to improve visibility and decision-making.
Lead continuous improvement initiatives to streamline transport workflows and remove inefficiencies.
Support change initiatives relating to fleet growth, depot expansion, or new operating models.
Ensure appropriate structures are in place at depot level to meet legal and safety requirements.
Work alongside compliance and HSEQ teams, providing operational input and support where required.

Skills & Experience

Essential

Proven senior experience in transport or fleet operations management across multiple sites or depots.
Strong background in day-to-day transport planning and fleet utilisation, ideally within plant hire, construction, or heavy logistics.
Experience leading large, geographically dispersed teams.
Commercially and operationally minded with a hands-on approach.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make decisions in fast-paced environments.

Desirable

Experience operating HGV, low-loader, or specialist plant transport fleets.
Familiarity with transport management and telematics systems.
CPC qualification or working knowledge of transport compliance (not essential).

Personal Attributes

Highly operational and delivery-focused
Comfortable working at pace across multiple depots
Pragmatic, solutions-driven, and commercially aware
Strong communicator who can influence at all levels
Willing to be visible in depots and on the ground
