Do you have the drive to inspire drivers, optimise resources, and ensure every delivery hits the mark—on time, in full, every time? If so, join our team as Transport Team Manager on a 6 Month FTC!

Joining us as our Transport Team Manager on a 6 Month FTC, you’ll lead our dynamic transport team in our Hams Hall depot, servicing for our customer Sainsburys. You’ll play a pivotal role in inspiring, supporting, leading our colleagues to achieve performance targets and exceed operational excellence.

This is a full time, 6 Month FTC opportunity. We operate a rota of 2 weeks of days 06:00-18:00 and 2 weeks of night 18:00-06:00 (Average hours 40 a week over 14 shifts in a 4-week period).

Pay, benefits and more:

We’re looking to offer a salary of up to £34,985.60 per annum and 264 hours annual leave (pro rata). Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, life assurance and access to our benefits platform, including retail discounts!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Be the engine of the operation, keeping the transport function running smoothly day-to-day and jumping in to support shift managers when things get busy
• Keep everything road-legal, audit-ready, and secure, staying on top of admin, legislation, tachographs, and security requirements
• Be the ultimate collaborator, working with internal teams and maintenance partners to avoid delays and keep the fleet serviced and ready to roll
• Lead, inspire, and grow great teams, motivating drivers and admin colleagues through 1-to-1s, coaching, recruitment, training, and succession planning
• Own performance and safety, managing reports, VORs, defects, sickness absence, and investigations to keep people safe and operations on track

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• You know your transport! Solid understanding of transport operations, driver hours, and EU/WTD regulations
• Details matter to you: you’re accurate, organised, and spot issues before they become problems
• A clear communicator: confident both on the phone and in writing, with the ability to keep everyone in the loop
• Cool under pressure: comfortable juggling priorities, hitting tight deadlines, and keeping calm when it’s busy
• Positive, flexible, and dependable: someone the team can rely on, day in and day out on shift
• Tech-savvy and systems-friendly: confident using MS Office and happy working with transport/distribution systems
