It’s your job to ensure that the team on shift are well organised, trained and motivated to deliver the operational efficiency targets and that all operational processes are fully H&S compliant.
You will produce daily and weekly plans to achieve these targets, and monitor performance against standards, taking appropriate action to maintain or improve as required.

By creating a fun, fair and rewarding culture, as a Team manager in the transport team you will train, coach and mentor your team to drive them to perform to the highest standards.
About you
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. 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, love never knowing what the day will bring and feel exhilarated working under pressure and to tight deadlines then this could be the Next step for you.
We recognise the key to our success is our people. Through our internal training programmes, we provide continuous development opportunities to help refresh your current management abilities and to realise your career ambitions.
