Job Description:
Are you an experienced Transport Manager looking for a dynamic, hands-on role in a fast-paced, multi-faceted environment? We’re a family-run transport company with a growing operation across Ireland and the UK, and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to step in and take the reins of our day-to-day logistics.
Key Responsibilities:
* Plan and coordinate transport jobs across Ireland and the UK, managing diverse job types with adaptability and efficiency.
* Manage all FORS requirements including tachograph downloading, driver files, and compliance documentation.
* Operate our Transport Management System (TMS): scheduling jobs, communicating with drivers, managing diaries, and logging key information.
* Take full ownership of transport operations — including long hours when necessary, handling issues in real time with customers and drivers, and staying cool under pressure.
* Collaborate with the team to manage abnormal loads, container work, general haulage, shipping coordination, and on-site logistics.
What We’re Looking For:
* A highly experienced Transport Manager who thrives in a busy environment.
* Strong working knowledge of transport regulations, TMS systems, and FORS compliance.
* A proactive leader who can take initiative, handle pressure, and always stay one step ahead.
* A flexible team player who understands the demands of a family-run business and is willing to get involved in all areas of the operation.
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills for dealing with staff, clients, and external partners at all hours when required.
What We Offer:
* A close-knit, supportive work environment in a family-owned business.
* The opportunity to take ownership of a vital role and help shape the direction of our transport operations.
* A month of structured handover and support to get you up to speed with our systems and workflow.
* Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.
