Job description

At Lineage, helping to feed the world is more than a job – it’s a purpose we live every day. Lineage is the world’s largest and most innovative provider of temperature‑controlled logistics solutions. We are currently recruiting for a Transport Supervisor to join our Transport team at Hams Hall. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a fast‑paced environment, takes pride in getting things right and wants to play an active role in making transport operations run smarter, safer and more efficiently. If you’re someone who spots an opportunity to improve a process rather than simply follow it, enjoys working with people and thrives on keeping an operation moving, we’d love to hear from you.

Shift Available: Monday - Friday 06:00-14:00/14:00-22:00 (rotating) Salary: Salary Negotiable

The role

In this role you will work closely with the Transport Manager to keep our operation running safely, efficiently and to a high standard. You’ll be a key point of contact for our drivers and will help ensure we deliver the service our customers expect.

• Allocate drivers effectively, making sure the right resources are in place to deliver the operation successfully.
• Complete driver wages and holiday administration accurately and on time.
• Monitor drivers’ daily activity, including unauthorised stops, and ensure all driver paperwork is completed fully and accurately.
• Assist with agency bookings, costings and spend, ensuring agency DISCLAIMERS are completed, accurate and correctly filed.
• Monitor driver infringements, ensuring they are printed, understood, discussed and signed by drivers.
• Input and monitor driver working time and Driving Time Directive information using Excel, identifying issues and taking action where required.
• Deliver training and support to drivers using electronic driver pads, helping colleagues get the most from our technology and systems.
• Coordinate vehicle inspections and MOTs both internally and externally, ensuring vehicles remain compliant and available for operation.
• Monitor and report vehicle defects, ensuring issues are escalated and resolved promptly.
• Report RTA’s and near misses accurately and support a proactive approach to transport safety.
• Order site fuel and monitor requirements to help keep the operation running without disruption.
• Work collaboratively with your peers across the transport network, sharing ideas and best practice to improve performance and deliver an excellent service to our customers.
• Look for opportunities to improve the way we work, challenge inefficient processes and bring a positive, solutions‑focused approach to the operation.

Who we're looking for:

• Someone with previous transport supervision or transport operational experience who is ready to take the next step or make their mark in a busy transport environment.
• Someone who takes pride in getting things right first time – attention to detail is essential.
• Experience managing drivers’ hours and transport legislation.
• A confident communicator who can communicate clearly and professionally with drivers, colleagues and key stakeholders in English.
• Experience with Transport Management Systems would be helpful, but a willingness to learn, use initiative and embrace new ways of working will take you far in our ambitious team.
• A target‑focused individual who is comfortable working to tight deadlines, prioritising effectively and getting things done.
• A genuine team player who enjoys working collaboratively and is willing to challenge the way things are done when there’s a better solution.
• Good IT skills are essential, particularly in Excel, Word and Outlook.
• Above all else, you’ll share our determination to keep our customers and colleagues happy.
• A can‑do attitude, strong organisation skills and brilliant communication are essential to success in this role.

What's In It For You?

• Permanent opportunity with a direct employer – we won’t hire you through a recruitment agency.
• Career development opportunities within a global market‑leading business.
• Opportunity to earn an additional day’s holiday each year, up to the maximum of one extra week for length of service.
• Free onsite parking.
• Employee Assistance Programme with access to 24/7 confidential counselling and support.
• Preferential rates for loans and savings offered through exclusive access to a credit union.
• Be part of a business that plays a vital role in feeding communities across the UK.

Why Lineage?

We are a global company with more than 22,000 employees spanning 20 countries and more than 400 locations across North America, Europe, Asia‑Pacific, and South America. At Lineage Logistics, we have a shared purpose; we are transforming the food supply chain to eliminate waste and help feed the world. This means working at Lineage is not just a job – it’s an opportunity to innovate and put your mark on how food moves from the farm to dinner tables around the world. As a member of our team, you will be a critical link in the food supply chain. Our shared purpose drives everything we do in all parts of our organisation, from the warehouse floor to the office. Our team members are passionate about the impact they make every single day. We are an equal opportunities employer and positively encourage applications from persons regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity. At Lineage we also recognise that Ex‑Military, veterans, and military families have great experience with transferable skills and core values that can add significant value to our organisation.

Benefits

As a Lineage team member, we aim to provide everything you and your family need to thrive. That’s why we offer competitive rates of pay, paid time off, skills training, and development opportunities to grow a long and fulfilling career with us. This is enhanced by recognition schemes (so that your hard work won’t go unnoticed), plus the chance to make your salary go even further with our cycle‑to‑work scheme and preferential rates for loans and savings courtesy of a leading credit union. Your everyday wellbeing is also important to us, so we will provide you with all the protective equipment you need to be safe and comfortable at work, and you will have access to a free 24/7 employee assistance phone line, which offers confidential counselling and advice. With all of this offered against the backdrop of a fun and social environment in which you will be supported by a team who enjoy helping each other in achieving their goals, we are confident you will excel with us.
