* Preparing for and managing internal audits, external audits, and DVSA inspections
* Maintaining accurate compliance records, policies, and procedures across multiple sites
* Supporting investigations, incidents, and near misses with clear corrective actions

You will ideally have:
* CPC qualification or strong working knowledge of CPC requirements
* Previous experience as a Transport Manager, Transport Coordinator, or Compliance Manager within manufacturing, distribution, or logistics
* Strong understanding of operator licence management and DVSA standards
* Experience managing tachographs, driver hours, infringements, and compliance systems
