Partner with operational leaders to improve customer service delivery and reduce failed collections or delays
Ensure Transport compliance through legally compliant planning practices and driver scheduling
Produce regular operational and performance reporting for senior leadership
Lead continuous improvement projects relating to transport and logistics operations
Support future network growth planning, including AI-supported modelling, capacity forecasting and scenario planning
Collaborate with finance and operations teams to support budgeting and cost management initiatives

Candidate profile

Significant experience within transport, logistics or fleet optimisation roles
Experience operating within multi-site or national logistics environments
Strong understanding of transport planning, routing and operational efficiency principles
Experience using transport management systems, telematics and route optimisation software

Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
Experience leading improvement initiatives across operational environments
CPC qualification desirable but not essential
Driving license and willingness to travel
