With a strong, established team already in place and ambitious plans ahead, this is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role within one of the world's leading logistics providers.

Navigating the complexities of an Upper Tier COMAH environment, ensuring compliance, risk management and safe operational practices

Leading commercial activities such as pay negotiations and aligning operational delivery with contractual expectations

Managing change and peak planning (including site integrations and seasonal spikes), ensuring stability through periods of disruption
