As our business continues to develop, we're looking for an experienced Logistics Supervisor to take day\-to\-day responsibility for our Transport function in Sheffield.

This is a hands\-on supervisory role for someone who enjoys being involved in the day\-to\-day operation but is also confident leading people, improving processes and taking ownership of performance.

You'll work alongside the Transport Team and Drivers, supporting planning, coordination and problem\-solving while providing clear leadership, developing the team and helping us improve how the function operates.

The role

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading and supporting the Transport Team and Drivers day to day.


• Overseeing route planning, scheduling, collections, driver resources and operational priorities.


• Working alongside the team to resolve operational issues, delays and changing priorities.


• Managing performance, attendance and routine people matters, while coaching and developing the team.


• Maintaining oversight of workload, capacity and forward planning.


• Ensuring Transport systems, records and documentation are maintained accurately.


• Monitoring performance and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, communication and customer service.


• Working closely with Operations, Business Support and Compliance.


• Ensuring relevant Transport, Driver, vehicle, ADR, waste and safety procedures are followed.

What we're looking for

Essential

• Previous supervisory, team leadership or people\-management experience.


• Confident people\-management skills, with the ability to set expectations, provide feedback and address issues constructively.


• Strong organisational and prioritisation skills.


• A practical, hands\-on approach and the ability to manage changing operational priorities.


• Good communication and problem\-solving skills.


• Good computer literacy and confidence using different systems and digital tools.


• Strong attention to detail and an organised approach to records and administration.


• A proactive approach to improving processes and ways of working.

Desirable

• Experience within waste management, ADR or another regulated logistics environment.


• Experience supporting the development or improvement of Transport processes.


• Experience using operational performance information or KPIs to identify improvements.

The essential/desirable split reflects the JD, including keeping waste, ADR or other regulated logistics experience as advantageous rather than essential.

What we offer

• Competitive salary.


• Company pension.


• Simplyhealth Cash Plan.


• Tastecard employee benefits.


• Company events.


• Free on\-site parking.


• Opportunity to join a growing business and play an important role in developing our Logistics function.
