Transport Manager

Canterbury | Competitive Salary + Benefits

PLEASE READ: CPC REQUIRED | NO SPONSORSHIP | UK FLEET EXPERIENCE ESSENTIAL

This is a role for someone who doesn’t just manage — they improve.

We’re working with a well-established, fast-moving business looking for a Transport & Fleet Manager to take ownership of a busy operation delivering time-critical goods across multiple locations.

If you’re ambitious, commercially minded and want a role where you can genuinely shape how things are done — this is it.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day and strategic running of a high-volume fleet operation, ensuring everything runs safely, compliantly and efficiently — while consistently hitting delivery expectations.

You’ll play a key role in:

Leading and developing a team of drivers and transport staff

Coordinating vehicle movements, schedules and deliveries across sites

Driving performance across service, cost and efficiency

Ensuring full compliance with transport legislation and operator licence requirements

Managing challenges in real time and keeping operations moving

Hours are 8am – 5pm, Monday to Friday, however this is a senior, accountable position — you’ll be expected to take ownership and step in when issues arise outside of core hours.

What We’re Looking For

This role will suit someone who wants more than just a steady job — someone who wants to build, improve and progress.

You must have:

Valid CPC (essential) and willingness to refresh every 3 years

Experience managing a busy fleet within a fast-paced environment

Strong understanding of UK transport legislation and compliance requirements

Experience overseeing drivers, vehicle compliance and operational performance

A proactive mindset — someone who looks for solutions, not problems

You’ll stand out if you:

Take real ownership and accountability

Thrive in a pressured, time-sensitive environment

Are motivated by improving systems, people and performance

Why This Role?

Opportunity to make a visible impact on operations

A business that values people who take initiative

Scope to develop and grow the role over time

Long-term career potential within a stable and expanding organisation
