About the Role

Bullet Express is looking for an experienced Operations Manager to join our team at our Bothwell site.

This is a key management role within our operation, responsible for the day-to-day running of our warehouse and transport operation.

Ensure operational procedures are followed consistently across all shifts.

Health & Safety and Compliance

Ensure all Health & Safety procedures are followed across the operation.
Promote a strong safety culture and challenge unsafe working practices.
Ensure risk assessments, toolbox talks, accident investigations and other required documentation are completed.
Ensure compliance with relevant transport legislation, driver hours and Working Time requirements.
Make sure operational checks, audits and compliance requirements are completed accurately and on time.

Customer Service

Maintain strong working relationships with customers, partners and other departments within Bullet Express.
Deal with operational and customer escalations professionally and quickly.
Investigate service failures and put actions in place to prevent repeat issues.
Support customer meetings and service reviews where required.
Ensure customers and internal teams receive clear and accurate operational updates.

Performance & Cost Control

Monitor operational costs and ensure the operation works within agreed budgets.
Manage overtime and agency usage effectively.
Identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary costs without affecting service or safety.
Monitor key operational KPIs and take action where performance falls below expectations.
Produce clear operational reports and updates for senior management.
Continually look for ways to make the operation safer, simpler and more efficient.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

Previous management experience within transport, logistics, distribution or warehouse operations.
Strong leadership and people management skills.
Experience managing a busy, fast-paced operation.
Good understanding of Health & Safety and operational compliance.
Experience working with operational KPIs and service targets.
Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
Confident making decisions and taking ownership of operational issues.
Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with customers, colleagues and senior management.

The Person

We are looking for someone who:

Leads from the front and is comfortable being involved in the day-to-day operation.
Takes ownership and follows issues through to completion.
Remains calm and makes sensible decisions under pressure.
Has high standards and strong attention to detail.
Can manage and develop people while holding them accountable for performance.
Is commercially aware and understands the importance of controlling operational costs.
Is flexible and adaptable when operational requirements change.
Works well as part of a wider management team.
Has a positive, proactive and solution-focused approach.
Is always looking for ways to improve how the operation works.

How Success Will Be Measured

Performance within the role will include:

On-time and in-full delivery performance.
Overall customer service levels.

Freight handling and scanning accuracy.
Reduction in damages and operational failures.
Effective management of overtime, agency and operational costs.
