Manager Procurement jobs in United Kingdom

Logistics Manager

Location: Leicestershire
Salary: GBP40,000 + benefits
Hours: Monday Friday, 9 5

I m recruiting for a client who needs a Logistics Manager. Quickly.

Their current one has handed in their notice and, let s just say, the drivers won t be throwing her a leaving party. That means the business is about to be without someone who understands compliance, drivers regs, tachos, and all the other things that can keep a transport operation on the wrong side of the law.

That s where you come in.

• You ll be running a logistics operation with 10 lorries, 2 shunters, and a team of drivers who know their stuff but also need a steady hand.

• You ll take full responsibility for O Licence compliance and make sure the business stays audit-ready.

• You ll lead monthly driver meetings, keep them motivated, and deal with challenges head-on.

• You ll work with Customer Services when deliveries go wrong (because sometimes they will).

• And you ll report into an Operations Director who wants someone who s consistent, calm, and able to just get on with it.

• Experience managing an O Licence this isn t optional.

• Working knowledge of tachograph systems (Tachomaster or similar).

• Previous experience managing drivers and the kind of character that earns their respect.

• Strong organisational skills. Consistency. The ability to make decisions without flapping.

• GBP40,000 salary.

• 25 days holiday, plus pension.

• A privileged parking space on site.

• Modern fleet (all new lorries, top spec, replaced every 5 years).

• A business that reinvests heavily and is growing fast.

It s a Monday Friday, site-based role. No weekends. No travel. Just a proper logistics management role where your job is to keep drivers, compliance, and operations aligned.

If you ve ever thought I could run this operation better than the person in charge this is your chance to prove it.
