Keep our transport operation moving.

We're looking for a Transport Supervisor to join our busy Warrington Hub, helping to keep our transport operation running safely, efficiently and on time.

Working closely with the Transport Shift Manager, you'll take responsibility for the day-to-day coordination of drivers and transport activity across your shift. You'll be a visible point of leadership for the team, making decisions, resolving operational issues and ensuring our drivers have everything they need to deliver a great service.

This is a fast-paced role where priorities can change quickly, so we're looking for someone who is organised, confident making decisions and comfortable working in a busy transport environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supervising and supporting drivers throughout your shift, providing clear direction and keeping the operation running smoothly.
• Briefing and debriefing drivers, ensuring route instructions, collections and deliveries are clearly understood and completed.
• Monitoring daily transport activity and responding quickly to delays, route issues and other operational challenges.
• Reviewing driver documentation, log sheets and digital tachograph information to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Ensuring vehicle defects identified during checks are recorded, escalated and appropriately actioned.
• Making sure accidents, incidents and vehicle damage are reported correctly and within required timescales.
• Working closely with internal teams and external partners to coordinate collections and deliveries.
• Supporting route optimisation and making operational adjustments when required.
• Maintaining high standards of Health & Safety and transport compliance across the shift.
• Providing clear and detailed shift handovers to Transport Shift Managers and fellow Supervisors.
• Using transport systems and operational data to monitor performance and identify issues requiring action.

What You'll Need

We're looking for someone with experience working within transport, logistics or a similarly fast-paced operational environment, ideally with some experience supervising or coordinating drivers or operational teams.

You'll also need:

• A good understanding of driver compliance, including digital tachographs and driver documentation.
• Experience working with transport management systems such as Isotrak, Tachomaster, Ortec or similar.
• Strong organisational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritise when things change quickly.
• Confidence communicating with drivers, colleagues, managers and external partners.
• Good IT skills, including Excel, Outlook and Microsoft Teams.
• A proactive approach to Health & Safety and operational compliance.
• The confidence to make decisions and keep people focused during a busy shift.

Experience of route planning or optimisation would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

Why Join Evri?

At Evri, no two shifts are exactly the same. You'll be joining a large-scale transport operation where you'll have the opportunity to develop your leadership experience, build your transport knowledge and progress your career.

We offer a competitive package alongside opportunities for learning, development and career progression across our operation.

If you're an experienced transport professional ready to take more ownership of a busy operation, we'd love to hear from you.
