Job description

Logistics done differently

We are thrilled to announce an opening for a Team Leader position! This role has become available as our current Team Leader is on a 3‑month secondment to a Shift Management role.

While this is a fixed‑term contract, there is potential for extension or even a permanent position, depending on the outcome of the secondment. This is a fantastic chance to showcase your skills and possibly secure a long‑term role within our dynamic team. The role is to be based at our site in Aylesbury on our contract with Arla (Dairy). We run a large fleet with 100 vehicles and 200 drivers. This is working on a 4 on 4 off shift pattern working 6 pm to 6 am.

Pay, benefits and more:

We’re looking to offer a salary of up to £30,000 per annum. In addition, we offer 28 days holiday which includes bank holidays, as well as the option to buy additional days. You’ll have access to a variety of high street discounts as well as a cycle‑to‑work scheme, a workplace pension and many other perks.

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Support the Shift Manager with adherence to all compliance and legal obligations during your shift with a huge emphasis on safety, deputising in their absence
• Assist with executing the daily plan for all deliveries and collections, with a keen eye on resources available at site and keeping the customer updated
• Ensure all processes and procedures are followed and that we operate a safe and efficient environment

What you need to succeed at XPO:

• It’s important you have exposure to working in a fast‑paced environment – no two days will be the same and we need you to think on your feet
• Previous experience supervising and developing a team within a complex transport environment
• Proven experience within transport and a good understanding of compliance and driver hours
