Terminals Manager (UK)

Location: Portland, Dorset (with regular travel to Sharpness, Gloucestershire)

Contract: Full-time, permanent

Salary: circa £60,000 + £5,000 car allowance + Benefits

About the Role

This is a senior leadership role with full accountability for UK terminal operations. You'll be the driving force behind Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) compliance across all sites, while also owning operational performance, cost control, and efficiency. Working closely with depot teams, head office, and international stakeholders, you'll embed a strong safety culture and ensure the business runs compliantly, efficiently, and to a high standard.

What You'll Be Doing

Operational Leadership

Lead, develop, and performance-manage operational teams across UK terminals
Coordinate vessel discharge operations with agents, stevedores, and depot teams
Manage maintenance activities and respond to plant breakdowns, adjusting plans as required
Maintain accurate operational records including stock levels, dispatches, and order tracking
Conduct regular stock audits and resolve discrepancies in coordination with finance
Adjust staffing levels, shifts, and schedules to meet operational demand
Manage operational budgets across terminals, logistics, and staffing
Monitor and control expenditure against approved budgets, identifying cost-saving opportunities
Support forecasting, financial planning, and variance analysis with the Finance team
Provide out-of-hours operational support when required

Health, Safety & Environmental

Ensure full compliance with UK legislation including COSHH, PUWER, LOLER, and applicable environmental regulations
Drive a proactive safety culture across employees, contractors, and visitors
Ensure risk assessments, method statements, and safe systems of work are current and effectively applied
Oversee incident, near-miss, and hazard reporting with thorough investigation and corrective actions
Deliver and coordinate HSE training, inductions, and competency programmes including manual handling, working at height, and first aid
Ensure contractor compliance with site safety rules and company standards
Support internal and external HSE audits and inspections
Maintain safe vehicle movement, loading/unloading, and material handling systems across all terminals

What You'll Bring

NEBOSH General Certificate (Level 3) or equivalent Health & Safety qualification
Mechanical or electrical engineering qualification
Proven experience in a senior management or operational leadership role
Strong background in logistics, shipping, or terminal/depot operations
Experience managing teams and coordinating complex staffing requirements
Sound knowledge of UK Health & Safety legislation and regulatory requirements
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Sheets
Experience with operational management systems such as Opera, XRL, or similar
Strong analytical and reporting skills
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Full UK driving licence

What We're Looking For

You'll be highly organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across operational, financial, and safety disciplines. You can write clearly, manage competing priorities, and bring a calm, solutions-focused approach to fast-moving environments. You're equally comfortable leading a team as you are working independently, and you take ownership of your responsibilities.

Additional Information

The role requires regular travel between UK terminal sites and occasional international travel, including to Spain. Candidates must hold a full UK driving licence.
