* Ensuring full HGV transport compliance (tachographs, vehicle maintenance, driver hours).
Ideal Background:
* Proven experience in transport leadership, either as a Transport Manager, Supervisor or Deputy looking to step up.
* Experience managing multi-site logistics and coordinating with external hauliers.
* Skilled in stakeholder engagement and cross-functional collaboration.
* Familiar with H&S best practices and driver welfare.
* Knowledge of ERP/TMS systems preferred but not essential.
