Nter Talent - on behalf of our client



Nter Talent is recruiting for a Head of Logistics Operations on behalf of a growing pallet solutions and circular-economy business based local to Rotherham. This is a genuinely senior leadership opportunity for a commercially minded logistics professional to take ownership of a transport and maintenance function, shaping its future direction.



Location / Working Pattern:

The Role:


Reporting directly to the Directors, you'll lead the strategy for the Transport and Maintenance departments, with 2 Transport Managers and a Maintenance Manager reporting into you. You'll ensure transport runs safely, efficiently, and compliantly, while also overseeing the maintenance, servicing, and repair of vehicles, machinery, and hand tools in line with legal requirements and a safety-first culture.



Key Priorities:



  • Set the medium and long-term logistics strategy, aligning fleet, people, systems, and service performance with wider business objectives


Bring strong commercial awareness - identifying growth opportunities, monitoring market trends, and maintaining a customer-centric approach


Lead and develop the transport and maintenance team, prioritising upskilling and future capability


Own day-to-day logistics performance - planning, route management, fleet utilisation, and service levels


Champion compliance and safety, including Operator Licence requirements, driver hours, Working Time Directive, tachograph management, and vehicle maintenance


Drive commercial performance - managing logistics costs, improving cost-to-serve, and identifying efficiency opportunities


Use data and KPIs to improve visibility and support better planning and decision-making


Lead continuous improvement initiatives to strengthen capacity and operational resilience


Work closely with Directors and wider teams as a senior operational partner




What We're Looking For:


Essential:



  • CPC Transport Manager qualification, with the capability to support Operator Licence compliance at senior level


Strong knowledge of UK transport legislation, Operator Licence obligations, driver hours, Working Time Directive, tachograph management, and vehicle compliance


Extensive experience leading transport, logistics, or haulage operations within a fast-paced commercial environment


Proven track record managing a sizeable fleet and leading multi-disciplinary transport teams (drivers, managers, coordinators)


Experience managing budgets, KPIs, service levels, and cost control


Strong commercial awareness, balancing customer service, compliance, efficiency, and profitability


Confident people management skills, including coaching, performance management, and employee relations


Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, comfortable working closely with Directors and senior leaders


Strong analytical, organisational, and problem-solving skills, able to make sound decisions under pressure


Competent with Microsoft Office (especially Excel) and business management/CRM/ERP systems


Experience leading operational change, process improvement, or system implementation projects



Desirable:



  • Knowledge of heavy vehicle maintenance requirements and fleet availability planning


Experience within a pallet network, multi-drop, haulage, or time-critical distribution environment


Experience using NetSuite




Benefits:



  • 33 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays)
