Vacancy Detail

Transport Manager

Transport, logistics and driving... All pretty hot topics at the minute! All 3 of those things are rolled into one with this role and I'm looking for someone that wants to make an opportunity their own. 

Events & Exhibitions. Carefully planned, meticulously executed; As long as everything arrives on time. This is where you come in. With a limited number of their own fleet, you'll be tasked with running the transport division for this £multimillion event and exhibition company. Sometimes though, you'll have to jump behind the wheel so you need to have your HGV license as occasionally, you'll be doing the planning and the driving. 

You'll be working internally with all the other departments and clients. Deadlines and process to follow so you'll have to be used to this environment. Being an experienced Planner / Driver you'll be well aware that sometimes things go wrong. The ability to manage the situation, react and sort it out will be required. 

The world of Events and Exhibitions is demanding. As is Transport. Your world outside of work has to be flexible as sometimes, unsociable hours are needed. Occasionally nights / weekends depending on the workloads. Mon - Fri 9 - 5 this is not. 

All that said, it's very rewarding. Nobody has done this role previously. You'll have the ability and autonomy to make it your own. Reporting directly into the MD. The role will be rewarded well with a package that is reflective of the current market conditions. 

Regardless of your current package / base salary, if you're experienced in planning transport, routes, delivery, despatch and have an HGV license and are at least open to a conversation about a new role (Of course you are, you're on this advert) then get in touch. 

No CV needed, if you have one great but the client and I, are firm believers all good things start with a chat over a brew.
