Are you a hands-on Transport Shift Manager experienced in running a high-volume, multi-temperature food operation?
If you’re comfortable leading from the front, making decisions under pressure and owning the outcome of your shift, keep reading.
We have a Transport Shift Manager, day-shift position, for someone who enjoys pace, ownership and making things happen on the floor, not just reporting on them.
If you know food logistics, understand compliance, and can keep service moving when pressure is on, this role will suit you.
The role
You’ll have full responsibility for the performance of your shift across chilled, frozen and ambient distribution, ensuring:
Deliveries leave on time and in full
Drivers are briefed, supported and compliant
Resources are planned and adjusted in real time
Issues are resolved quickly, not carried forward
You’ll be visible, decisive and accountable — leading from the front in a live operation.
Key responsibilities
Manage day-to-day transport operations in a fast-paced environment
Lead, motivate and develop drivers and operational teams
Ensure full compliance with transport legislation, WTD, tachographs and H&S
Liaise with internal teams and customers to resolve service issues
Drive continuous improvement to improve efficiency, cost and service levels
Deliver strong OTIF performance and clear shift handovers
What we’re looking for
Proven experience in transport shift management within food, FMCG or high-volume logistics
Strong working knowledge of transport compliance and driver regulations
Confident, calm leadership style with the ability to manage under pressure
Practical problem-solver who takes ownership
Flexible, adaptable and comfortable in a busy operational environment
Why join?
Salary up to £40,000
Day shifts offering structure and work-life balance
A growing, high-performing logistics operation
Supportive leadership with clear expectations
A role where transport performance genuinely matters
