Assistant Transport Manager
The Role: I am recruiting an Assistant Transport Manager on behalf of Arthur David, an award-winning food wholesaler, based in Bishop Sutton (Bristol BS39). Reporting into the Transport Manager, the successful Assistant Transport Manager will be responsible for the successful operation of 140 vans and Drivers, delivering fresh produce and fine foods to the catering industry, throughout the southwest of England and Wales. You will have the opportunity to input into Transport Department strategy, rationalising routes and implementing changes to help the operation run more smoothly, and will enjoy a varied and fast paced role, working in a friendly and supportive team environment, where your contribution is valued and where your career will progress accordingly.
The Person: We are happy to consider either an experienced Assistant Transport Manager / Transport Planner, perhaps someone who is keen to have the autonomy that comes with working for a smaller, dynamic business, or a Driver, who is keen to transition into an office environment and has the skills required to thrive in a managerial role. Experience of working with fresh produce is not essential, but the successful candidate will be calm under pressure and adept at problem solving (road closures, vehicle breakdowns etc.), having gained experience of working in a fast-paced, high-volume and time critical (FMCG) distribution environment.
