Are you an experienced transport professional who enjoys taking control of a busy shift and keeping everything running to plan?
We’re looking for a Night Transport Supervisor to take ownership of night-time transport operations for a busy site in Sandy.
Working a 4 on / 4 off night shift, you’ll be at the centre of the operation — coordinating drivers and vehicles, responding to issues as they happen and making sure deliveries leave safely, efficiently and on time.

- Coordinating drivers, vehicles and routes to meet daily delivery schedules
- Making real-time decisions to deal with delays, absence and operational changes
- Briefing and debriefing drivers at the beginning and end of their runs
- Monitoring routes and driver performance throughout the night
- Ensuring compliance with Working Time Directive, drivers’ hours and tachograph regulations
- Managing and investigating tachograph infringements
- Responding quickly to incidents, breakdowns and delivery issues
- Maintaining accurate transport and incident records
- Working closely with warehouse teams, drivers, contractors and customers
- Monitoring KPIs, SLAs, fuel efficiency and overall transport performance
- Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and day-to-day operations
You’ll be a confident and organised transport professional who is comfortable taking responsibility for a busy night operation.
You’ll ideally have:
- Previous experience within transport, logistics or fleet operations
- Good knowledge of drivers’ hours, WTD and tachograph compliance
- Experience coordinating or supervising drivers
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- The confidence to make decisions in a fast-moving environment
- Good IT skills and experience using transport or route-planning systems
- A calm, practical approach when things don’t go to plan
