About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Transport Operator to join our transport operations team on a night shift basis. This is a fast-paced and varied role requiring a strong understanding of transport operations, excellent communication skills, and the ability to make informed decisions in a dynamic environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Control and coordinate transport operations within your designated area.
  • Review and monitor planned work, making adjustments where required to maintain service levels.
  • Dispatch drivers and ensure efficient utilisation of transport resources.
  • Monitor driver activity and provide operational support throughout the shift.
  • Manage and resolve issues that arise during operations, including driver defects, vehicle defects, site issues, and incidents.
  • Maintain accurate records and produce timely operational reports.
  • Ensure effective communication and handovers with fellow Transport Operators, Shift Managers, Transport Managers, and customers.
  • Escalate operational concerns appropriately and support resolution activities.
  • Ensure compliance with company procedures, health and safety requirements, and transport regulations.

Skills & Experience Required

  • Previous experience within a transport, logistics, or fleet operations environment is essential.
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively under pressure and prioritise tasks in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Confident using transport management systems and operating within a control room or transport office environment.
  • Ability to make operational decisions and respond quickly to changing priorities.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate reporting.

What We're Looking For

The successful candidate will have a solid background in transport operations and be comfortable managing multiple priorities throughout a shift. Due to the complexity of the operation, previous transport industry experience is essential, as there is a significant amount of information and operational knowledge to absorb.

If you thrive in a busy operational environment and enjoy being at the heart of transport planning and execution, we'd love to hear from you today!

Blue Arrow is proud to be a Disability Confident Employer and is committed to helping find great work opportunities for great people.
