Leadership Role High-Impact Position Real Career Progression
Are you a high-performing Transport Manager who thrives on responsibility, leadership and delivering operational excellence?
Do you want to join a growing international organisation where your ideas, leadership and ambition can genuinely shape the future of the operation?
If you are a results-driven, customer-focused and commercially aware transport professional, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. The position is based in Wakefield.
The Opportunity
A highly successful and growing international organisation is looking to appoint a CPC qualified Transport Manager to take ownership of a key transport operation.
This is not simply a compliance role. This is a leadership opportunity where you will drive performance, develop teams and continuously improve operational standards across the business.
You will play a pivotal role in ensuring the site operates safely, efficiently and commercially while delivering exceptional service to customers.
For the right individual, this role offers a fantastic platform to accelerate your career within a business that invests heavily in its people and leadership talent.
About the Business
Our client is part of a dynamic and financially secure international organisation operating at the forefront of the UK service sector.
Every day the business supports organisations that impact the lives of millions of people across the UK, delivering essential services with a relentless focus on quality and customer experience.
The company also holds Gold EcoVadis status, placing it among the top 5% of over 125,000 companies globally for sustainability and responsible business practices.
People are at the heart of everything they do, and they are committed to building an environment where talented individuals can develop, grow and succeed.
The Role
As Transport Manager, you will take full responsibility for leading the transport operation and ensuring it runs safely, efficiently and profitably.
Key areas of focus include:
Leading and developing a high-performing transport team
Ensuring full compliance with transport legislation and operational standards
Driving operational efficiency and continuous improvement
Delivering exceptional levels of customer service
Managing resources, planning and fleet performance
Supporting commercial objectives and financial performance
Creating a positive and high-accountability team culture
This is a high-visibility leadership role where your ability to inspire, organise and drive results will make a real difference.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a motivated and ambitious Transport Manager who wants to take ownership and make an impact.
You will bring:
A CPC Transport Manager qualification
Strong experience managing transport operations
A passion for operational excellence and customer service
Proven leadership and team development skills
Commercial awareness and strong decision-making ability
A proactive mindset and a drive to continuously improve performance
Experience managing budgets or P&L responsibility would be beneficial, along with Health & Safety qualifications such as NEBOSH or IOSH.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected organisation that truly invests in its people.
You will benefit from:
Being part of a successful international group
A people-first culture where leadership is valued
Genuine career progression opportunities
The chance to lead, innovate and shape the operation
Working within a business committed to sustainability and long-term growth
