This role can be tailored around the right person. We're open to speaking with experienced Transport Managers looking for their next challenge, as well as more senior candidates who have managed transport functions across multiple sites and are ready to oversee transport operations across the wider Kelling Group.

For candidates joining at Group Transport Manager level, the role will involve supporting transport operations across both our Access Hire and Welfare Hire businesses, driving consistency, compliance and operational excellence throughout the group.

Support recruitment, onboarding and training within the transport function.
Work closely with internal departments to ensure excellent customer service and operational efficiency.
Support and promote company Health & Safety policies and procedures.
Liaise with the EHS Manager regarding depot audits, training, accident investigations, equipment maintenance and inductions.
Maintain high standards of housekeeping and organisation within the transport office.
Provide cover and support for operational leadership when required.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives across the transport operation.

Additional Responsibilities (Group Transport Manager Level)

Oversee transport operations across multiple Kelling Group businesses and locations.
Travel regularly to group sites to support operational consistency and best practice.
Develop and implement transport strategies to improve efficiency, compliance and service delivery.
Lead transport-related projects and business improvement initiatives.
Support fleet optimisation, cost reduction and operational performance programmes.
Implement and develop transport management systems, telematics and vehicle tracking solutions.
Support organisational growth and transport function development across the group.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a proactive and commercially minded transport professional who enjoys leading teams, solving problems and delivering results.

Essential Skills & Experience

Previous experience in a Transport Manager, Logistics Manager or similar leadership role.
Strong understanding of transport compliance, driver hours regulations and tachograph management.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Strong leadership and people management experience.
Excellent planning, organisational and prioritisation skills.
Strong analytical and reporting capabilities.
