Looking to take the next step in your operational leadership career?

Here, at GXO, we're seeking a Transport Supervisor to join our Clicklink Network Team based in Northampton with travel to cover Swadlincote and other national depots. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong operational leadership experience who enjoys problem-solving, analysing performance, and working with multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced environment. Whilst transport experience would be beneficial, it isn't essential. We're keen to hear from candidates with supervisory warehousing or operational backgrounds who are looking to broaden their experience, as we'll provide support to develop the transport-specific knowledge needed to succeed in the role.

This is a full-time, permanent role working a 4 on, 4 off shift pattern, with 12-hour shifts. Flexibility is required to support the needs of the operation.

We're looking to offer a salary of up to £33,000.00 per annum, and 26.5 days annual leave (including bank holidays). Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical & dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You'll also have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more!

What you'll do on a typical day:

• Monitoring network performance and supporting sites to achieve customer service and operational target
• Identifying operational issues, investigating trends, and driving effective resolutions
• Analysing operational and financial data to support performance improvements across the network
• Coordinating communication and reporting between multiple sites and stakeholders
• Managing compliance-related activities, PCN reporting, and asset control processes

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• Experience in a supervisory, team leader, FLM, or operational leadership role is essential
• A background in warehousing, logistics, transport, distribution, or another fast-paced operational environment
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to make sound decisions under pressure
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and working with performance data
• Excellent communication skills, a proactive mindset, and a willingness to learn.
