Regional Training Lead - Transport
Do you have experience of delivering training to professional drivers in high-risk logistic environments? Do you enjoy leading from the front when it comes to safety, compliance, and commercial driver performance? Our client is looking for a HGV Regional Training Lead to ensure best practices and driver compliance in their qualified driving teams across their South-East (Essex & Kent) operations.
This role is ideal for a proactive, highly skilled, training professional with deep experience of training and developing already qualified HGV drivers. You will be responsible for the continued professional development of driving teams. You’ll thrive in a regional, hands-on environment while, working closely with operational transport teams to deliver classroom, practical, and on-the-road training – shaping driver performance from the first day they join and throughout their career with the organisation. You’ll play a vital part in maintaining and enhancing the safety culture and operational standards of the HGV driving team across the fleet.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Deliver practical and classroom-based transport training across multiple locations e.g., operational standards, compliance, safety, customer service and hazardous goods handling etc
* Design best-in-class training materials to be delivered across the whole group, as well as adapt national content to reflect local risk trends and operational changes
* Support and assess new starters, agency drivers, apprentices, and seasonal drivers
* Deliver and tailor modules including CPC driver training, ADR awareness, manual handling, WTD, load security & more
* Monitor training impact through safety audits, business set KPI’s, TruTac data, and feedback loops
* Collaborate with local transport teams to reinforce driver accountability and ensure best safety practices are consistently understood, applied, and maintained across the region
* Respond to audit outcomes and incident trends with targeted training sessions
About You:
* Strong track record in training delivery in both classroom and practical environments
* Highly experienced in designing effective and measurable training material
* Previous experience delivering driver and compliance training (Logistics UK, RoSPA, SAFED or CPC accreditation)
* Familiarity with high-risk operations (fuel, chemical, gas, pressurised materials or armed forces preferred – ADR certified would be an advantage)
* Current HGV Category C+E licence holder
* CPC qualified with strong knowledge of driver compliance, WTD, and safe driving practices
* Confident and engaging facilitator with excellent communication and coaching skills
* Self-motivated and able to manage your schedule regionally
* Experienced in identifying training needs through training needs analysis
* Well-versed in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and experienced in managing training records through LMS tools such as Workday
Why Join Us?
Unlike traditional “driving instructor” roles, this is not about test preparation or driving license acquisition, you’ll be working with already qualified drivers. You’ll be the go-to person for driver development in your region. You’ll be joining a growing national team, where you’ll have the tools, resources, and autonomy to make a real impact. This is a uniquely blended role combining: facilitator, coach, designer, auditor, safety advocate and technical subject matter expert. If you’re motivated by quality, accountability, and development – this is a great next step for you!
