Working in our rapidly growing Regional Service Centre, managing a significant transport operation, we require a people-focused Transport Assistant Site Manager to lead the transport team.
The overall aim of the Transport Assistant Site Manager is to ensure the traffic operation runs smoothly, accurately and cost effectively 24 hours, 7 days per week. Ensuring that all legal regulations are met so that the company’s ability to carry out its business is not affected, the Transport Manager will have a sound knowledge of Road Transport Regulations and manage all activities to ensure compliance.
You will seek cost savings against budget where appropriate and manage yard activities in order to achieve the required high standards in all areas.
The role requires an effective people manager to drive performance by monitoring KPI’s and leading by example. This includes the direct management of a number of Team Managers, who in turn manage large numbers of drivers. You will report directly into the Regional Service Centre Manager and deputise for them as site manager, when required and provide management support to the warehouse team. The Transport Assistant Site Manager will develop positive relationships with other members of the Management team, colleagues and wider business.
