Job description

As a Transport Operations Clerk, you will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day administration of the Transport Department, while also assisting with warehouse administration activities when required. This is a varied and fast-paced role, where no two days are the same.

You'll be responsible for ensuring transport documentation is processed accurately, supporting operational activities, maintaining records, and liaising with drivers, colleagues, and management teams to help keep the operation running smoothly.

The duties and responsibilities of this role can change daily depending on operational requirements, so flexibility, adaptability, and a willingness to support different areas of the business are essential.

Whether it's issuing drivers with their paperwork, supporting route departures, producing Tachograph reports, conducting driver debriefs, or assisting with operational challenges as they arise, you'll play a vital role in the success of the Transport function.

As an essential member of the Transport Operations Team, you'll provide administrative and operational support to help ensure deliveries run efficiently, compliance standards are maintained, and drivers have the information and resources they need to perform their roles effectively.

No two shifts are the same, so you'll need to be adaptable, organised, and ready to support the team wherever required.

Experience working with HGV drivers or within a transport, logistics, or fleet operations environment would be advantageous. However, we are equally interested in candidates who can demonstrate transferable skills gained in other fast-paced administrative or operational roles.

If you have strong organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, we'd love to hear from you. Full training will be provided to help you succeed in the role.

Booker is the UK's leading food & drink wholesaler. We are privileged to serve independent retailers, caterers and small businesses, from locations across the country. We operate over 190 cash and carry branches, 8 distribution centres, 5 Best Food Logistics sites, as well as 6 support centre locations across the UK.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) at Booker means that whoever you are and whatever your background, we always want you to feel represented and that you can be yourself at work. In short, we’re a place where Everyone’s Welcome.

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at Booker and Best, we always welcome conversations about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers; some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we may be able to support you.

We’re proud that Booker is a Disability Confident Committed Leader and we’re committed to providing a fully inclusive and accessible recruitment process. For further information on the accessibility support you can expect, please contact [e-mail]

Please note

We can only accept candidates over the age of 18 if the role requires working before 6:15 am or after 9:45 pm or involves working in areas such as the warehouse, beers, wines & spirits, and driving roles.

On the occasions where we have high volumes of applicants, some roles may close earlier than the advertised end date in order for us to manage all of the applicants appropriately. We will only be able to offer individual feedback to those candidates who attend an interview.
