A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced CPC qualified Transport Manager who demonstrates both commercial and operational expertise. The client is highly customer centric and the business is part of a dynamic, successful and highly people oriented growing organisation. They are keen to hear from ambitious, well-educated individuals who are forward thinking, innovative and career minded.

You will be committed to leading teams, developing talent and making the role your own. This is an excellent platform from which to really drive the business forward and within a business that can provide opportunity for genuine career development.

Whilst you may not know the company products and services, each day they work with businesses that impact the lives of millions of people in the UK. The business is ambitious, and with plans to grow in the UK service industry they have an unrelenting desire to become an employer of choice. It is a meritocracy, and they promote and reward individuals who deliver against objectives and show great performance. Ambition and enthusiasm are key traits of their employees who live the values of respect, integrity, exemplarity and responsibility.

To give you a feel for their ethics and commitment, the company achieved the PLATINUM level of Ecovadis positioning them among the Top 1% of the 125,000 companies assessed by Ecovadis, meaning a commitment to minimising environmental impact with their approach to use the circular economy model.

The opportunity would suit a customer focused Transport Management professional who not only has sound commercial and financial acumen but also possess operational expertise in respect of ensuring that the site runs as efficiently as possible. It is important that you have an enquiring mind, are detail oriented, and are constantly looking at opportunities for continuous improvement. This will extend throughout all areas of the business to include operations, sales, customer satisfaction, H&S, leadership and the people agenda. You will be detail oriented and hold exacting standards when it comes to quality and compliance. You will have held O license and P&L responsibilities and it would be an advantage if you hold relevant H&S certificates (NEBOSH, IOSH).

The scope of this role is wide and varied and your man-management expertise cannot be underestimated; you will be a naturally energetic, motivational leader with drive and passion in what you do, capable of creating a collaborative team work ethic and an environment in which people feel they are really part of the success of the business.

You will inspire a culture based upon teamwork, recognising and rewarding exceptional performance and conversely addressing any areas of below standard performance consistently and fairly. Exceptional communication skills and an ability to give direction will be essential.

This is a great platform from which to further your management career in a business that is passionate about their people and quality of service and who can truly offer exceptional career progression in a dynamic, organisation.
