Who enjoys moving Boxes ! Big Ones?
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).
We’re 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 We’re 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)
