You'll engage with supplier partnerships, develop and enhance our transport applications and systems, and champion process improvements that reduce waste and maximise productivity.

- Operational & Fleet Management: Oversee fleet utilisation, maintenance scheduling, compliance management, and daily route planning to deliver optimal service to customers.
- Leadership Opportunity: Take ownership of national transport operations, driving both strategic and operational outcomes.
- Growth & Innovation: Play a pivotal role in growing a profitable part of the business, with autonomy to introduce efficiencies and continuous improvements.

- Minimum 3–5 years' experience managing transport or logistics teams, including drivers and vehicles.
