Customer & Stakeholder Management

Build and maintain strong working relationships with customers, acting as a key point of contact for transport-related matters.
Keep customers informed of job bookings, schedule changes, rescheduling and cancellations in a timely and professional manner.
Resolve customer issues promptly, escalating where necessary and ensuring lessons learned are fed back into the operation.

Health & Safety

Work in line with the company's Health & Safety policies and procedures at all times.
Promote a strong safety culture across the driver team, ensuring all activities are carried out safely and within legal requirements.
Report accidents, incidents and near misses promptly and support investigations to identify root cause and prevent recurrence.

General Operations & Administration

Provide cover for colleagues during periods of absence or peak demand.
Assist with general operational and administrative tasks as required to support the wider business.
Produce regular reports on KPIs, including utilisation, on-time performance, infringements, vehicle availability and driver availability forecasting.
