What you’ll bring
The Transport department at Next is a fast paced 24 hour operation and so there will often be a need for you to act independently and to think on your feet. You will demonstrate the ability to manage changing priorities, working well under pressure and able to make sound, operational decisions.
Along with proven people management skills, you must have experience of working in a busy transport function, demonstrating solid knowledge of road transport legislation, O-licence requirements and Driver hours.
Your expertise is valued and as a Transport Team Manager, you will need to search out solutions, drawing upon your previous transport management experience to lead the team.
If you’re passionate and love never knowing what the day will bring then this could be the Next step for you.
