Job description

Ready to step up (or build on your experience) and lead a high-performing transport team in a fast-paced distribution environment? Looking for a role where you can drive safety, engagement, and operational excellence while progressing your career in transport management? Join us as our Transport Team Manager, based in our Emerald Park, Bristol depot for our customer Sainsburys!

As our Transport Team Manager, you will thrive in our fast-paced environment, bringing energy, drive, and determination to everything you do. You’ll be passionate about keeping people safe, building a motivated team, strengthening customer relationships, and constantly looking for ways to improve how things run.

This is a full time, permanent position with 37.5 hours contracted per week. Working hours are any 5 days out of 7, working on a rotational shift of 06:00 to 14.00 and 14.00 to 22.00.

Pay, benefits and more:

We’re looking to offer a salary of up to £35,804.45 per annum, and 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays). Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, life assurance and access to our benefits platform, including retail discounts.

What you’ll do on a typical day:

  • Lead and inspire a team of Transport Clerks and Drivers, reporting into the Transport Shift Manager
  • Motivate your team to hit targets and deadlines through clear guidance, coaching, and support
  • Drive operational performance by achieving daily and weekly KPIs using transport management systems
  • Ensure a first-class service while maintaining full compliance with legal, licence, and regulatory requirements

What you need to succeed at GXO:

  • Proven experience in a transport environment, with unionised experience a plus
  • Strong understanding of transport systems, driver management tools, and relevant legislation
  • Confident people leader with excellent interpersonal and team management skills
  • Skilled at building stakeholder relationships and influencing performance through accountability and ownership
