About our opportunity
As part of EMR’s Transport Division, you will play a key role in ensuring that requests for transport services are captured, accurately recorded and responded to in line with agreed customer requirements. You will be focused on delivering an efficient, cost\-effective and high\-quality service while continually striving for service excellence.
What you will be doing
Your responsibilities will include:
- Representing EMR’s Transport Division professionally and building positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
- Liaising efficiently with customers and colleagues to resolve any issues or problems that arise.
- Promoting and ensuring compliance with transport policies, procedures and relevant legislation.
- Planning, organising and managing the routing of deliveries and collections to meet both business and customer requirements.
- Proactively identifying opportunities to improve routes and service levels, with a focus on reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction.
- Supporting the delivery of a safe, efficient and cost\-effective transport service.
- Making informed decisions in a fast\-paced environment to ensure operational requirements are met.
You will be an organised and proactive transport professional with previous experience of vehicle routing and the ability to make quick decisions under pressure. You'll thrive in a fast\-paced environment and have a strong understanding of transport compliance and operational requirements.
To be successful in this role, you will have:
- Previous vehicle routing experience, which is essential.
- Experience of making quick and effective decisions in a fast\-paced environment.
- A good understanding of EU drivers’ hours regulations and the Working Time Directive.
- A good understanding of O\-licence commitments.
- Good IT skills.
- A professional and customer\-focused approach, with strong communication and problem\-solving skills.
- Transport Manager CPC (OLAT training can be provided where CPC is not held).
- IOSH Managing Safely, although IOSH Supervising Safely is the minimum requirement.
- A valid LGV Class C or C\+E licence would be beneficial.
Who we are:
The products we’ll all need tomorrow depend on us making the most of today’s end\-of\-life metals, plastics and other materials.
Take a car at the end of its life \- most people just see a…car at the end of its life.
We see steel, aluminium, copper, plastics, rubber, glass, parts, fluids, costs, risks, markets and – most importantly \- possibilities.
Now, multiply that by thousands of cars – we recover, reuse and recycle all those valuable materials and put them back to work as low\-carbon materials for manufacturing, infrastructure, energy and transport.
And that’s just one thing we recycle. Add buildings, factories, ships, railways and industrial equipment. That’s all our hard work – the gritty, practical, commercial, difficult work our 4,000 global colleagues do every day.
Anything from a can to an aircraft carrier can become anything from a bicycle to a building and, at the same time, we help to avoid 19 million tonnes of carbon and 10 million tonnes of waste to landfill, protecting nature, resources and the next generation’s future.
Which is all well and good for us to say, but this is what the real people behind the really hard work think:
“The people who work here are from varied backgrounds and have a variety of beliefs, all of which are accepted and respected.”
“I’m encouraged to keep a healthy work\-life balance so that I can be performing at my best.”
“I’ve been supported every step of the way in my career progression.”
‘‘EMR offers a fantastic and inclusive environment; collaboration across the whole business, humility and hard work.”
Four years as a certified Great Place To Work is no small feat. Oh, and don’t forget one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Manufacturing, Production and Transportation. That’s pretty good too.
But we can do better. We’re aiming for a place in the top 60 companies in the UK – not for the accolade but for the improvement. A journey you should probably join us for.
If you want to be part of something bigger than yourself, have a role that really makes a difference and work with likeminded people towards the same purpose, this is the role for you.
