UK container logistics specialist with over 20 years moving the big stuff from A to B, without the drama. Our secret? A mix of smart planning, hardworking people, and a shared love for a job well done (and maybe the occasional bacon roll).
Were now on the hunt for two Transport Operators to join our Felixstowe operations team — people who know their way around a port, understand how to get the most out of an HGV fleet, and can keep cool when things get… well, container‑shaped.
Key Responsibilities
* Plan, schedule, and coordinate daily container collections and deliveries
* Manage HGV driver assignments, ensuring compliance with working time and transport regulations
* Liaise with ports, customers, and internal teams to ensure accurate and timely movements
* Track and monitor container movements using transport management systems (TMS)
* Optimise fleet utilisation and reduce empty mileage
* Respond to any operational issues and adapt plans as needed to maintain service levels
What Were Looking For
* Previous experience in container‑based road transport operations (essential)
* Strong working knowledge of UK ports (Felixstowe experience desirable)
* Familiarity with driver regulations and road transport compliance
* Excellent organisational and problem‑solving skills
* Confident communicator with good customer service approach
* Proficient with logistics software or TMS (training provided if needed)
