Job description

ArrowXL are the UK’s leading provider of two-person home delivery, striving to make the world of delivery a better place by building a business that supports the way we live today. Most of our work is taking responsibility for storing and delivering large, heavy, bulky items – the kind of work that typically needs two people to handle. Quite often these items need to be installed, which we do too.

ArrowXL are excited to announce that we’re now recruiting for a Transport Manager for our Wigan Depot.

Managing your teams, you will hold overall responsibility for the smooth operation of our Transport and Service Delivery functions, ensuring our customers receive the best quality service.

Reporting into the site General Manager, you will also be accountable for;

  • Leading, guiding and motivating your team of skilled Shift Managers, First Line Managers and service delivery crews
  • Manage the Transport Function at Wigan (main hub) and northern out-bases.
  • Efficient fleet utilisation, resource planning and cost control (whilst always ensuring the operation is both effective and compliant)
  • Take the lead and be the site expert for legal compliance and safety, ensuring your sites consistently operate safely and legally
  • Identify opportunities for improved efficiencies within the Transport function, recommending and implementing changes where needed and sharing best practices across our network of hubs
  • The resourcing, development and management of all colleagues within your team
  • Making prompt decisions which protect customer service and our delivery schedule, as well as remaining commercially focused

  • At least 3 years’ experience as a Transport Manager within a medium/large-scale transport operation
  • Demonstrable experience improving transport operations and introducing operational excellence
  • Strong knowledge of Road Transport Regulations, Health & Safety, fleet compliance and working time directives
  • Hold a national CPC
  • Demonstrable commercial and financial acumen
  • Strong people skills – able to influence, coach and develop
  • Full UK driving licence


Some of the benefits of working with us include:

  • Annual Leave Entitlement – 31 days entitlement (including statutory bank holidays) which increases with service!
  • Holiday Buy Scheme – Buy up to 5 additional days
  • Comprehensive Pension Plan – including ArrowXL company contributions
  • Life Insurance – Company-funded 2x basic salary life cover from day one
  • Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave
  • Long Service Awards – Awarded for every 5 years’ service
  • Employee of the Month Incentives – Local winners across the country, plus an overall winner chosen by the CEO
  • Progression and Development Opportunities – Investment into your career path via our award-winning Training Academy
