🚨 We’re Hiring | Assistant Transport & Operations Manager
📍 Bardon Hill / Northampton
Premier Logistics Group is continuing to grow, and we’re looking for an Assistant Transport & Operations Manager to help lead our operation across two busy sites.
This is not a desk-only transport role.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, can make decisions under pressure, understands drivers and compliance, and genuinely enjoys running transport operations properly.
With 110 HGVs, 300 trailers, 5 operating sites and over 220 people across the group, this role is critical to keeping the operation moving efficiently, compliantly and profitably.
📌 The role includes:
• Supporting the day-to-day management of the transport operation
• Driver management, shift handovers & operational oversight
• Monitoring compliance, WTD & Drivers’ Hours
• Supporting planning & subcontractor management
• Managing customer communication during live operational issues
• Working closely with fleet, planning and night operations
• Covering the Transport Operations Manager when required
📌 We’re looking for someone with:
✔ Previous transport or logistics supervisory experience
✔ Strong understanding of compliance, WTD & DVSA requirements
✔ Experience in fast-paced transport operations
✔ Confidence managing drivers, issues and customer expectations
✔ Commercial awareness and operational ownership
✔ CPC qualification (or actively working towards it)
Experience with Qargo, Samsara or pallet network operations is advantageous — but mindset, resilience and accountability matter most.
📌 What you’ll get:
• A genuinely growing logistics group with long-term opportunity
• A business where decisions are made quickly, and people can make an impact
• Exposure across transport, operations and commercial activity
• A strong team culture with high standards and support around you
This role suits someone who wants more responsibility, enjoys operational pressure, and takes pride in running things properly when it matters most.
