- Compliance & Safety: Ensure all transport activities comply with legal requirements, including driver hours, tachograph regulations, and vehicle maintenance schedules.
- Customer Service: Liaise with the local sales team and customers to provide accurate delivery updates and resolve any logistical challenges swiftly.
- Administration: Maintain accurate transport records, update the internal logistics system, and manage delivery paperwork (PODs).

- Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication, with the ability to confidently manage driver relations and customer expectations.
- Organisation: The ability to multitask, prioritise a heavy workload, and adapt to changing schedules on the fly.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and stable, full-time employment with an industry leader.
- Standard office hours (Monday to Friday), offering an excellent work-life balance compared to typical shift-based logistics roles.
