Job description

I’m working with an established transport operation looking to appoint an experienced Transport Manager to take responsibility for the day-to-day running, compliance and performance of its transport operation.

A key part of the operation is its commitment to DVSA Earned Recognition, so we’re particularly interested in speaking with Transport Managers who have experience working within an Earned Recognition environment or other highly regulated transport operations.

This is a role for someone who understands that good transport management is about more than simply keeping vehicles moving.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring the operation is safe, compliant, efficient and well controlled, working closely with drivers, operational teams and senior management.

• Transport Manager CPC / Certificate of Professional Competence
• Strong knowledge of DVSA and Operator Licence compliance
• Understanding of driver hours, tachographs, vehicle compliance and defect management
• Experience managing drivers and transport operations
• A proactive approach to compliance and continuous improvement
• The confidence and authority to maintain high operating standards

DVSA Earned Recognition experience would be highly advantageous, but isn't essential.

I’m interested in speaking with experienced Transport Managers who are looking for their next challenge, as well as strong Transport Supervisors / Fleet Managers / Senior Transport professionals who may be ready to step up.
