Triumph Consultants are looking for a Waste & Fleet Training Compliance Officer to build and maintain a single, accurate training and competency matrix, and to ensure every operational employee's training remains valid and up to date at all times. Contract is for 12 months in Rugby.

Location: Rugby, Warwickshire, CV21 1EA

Office-based

Key requirements:

• The qualifications are a HGV class 2 licence and experience in waster operations, ideally a qualified driving assessor too.
• Previous experience in a training/coaching role, or significant experience as a driver within waste management or another service industry.
• Experience developing and maintaining training matrices and competency records in a fleet, waste, highways or local authority environment.
• Good working knowledge of DVSA guidance, Operator License compliance, and core Health & Safety legislation as it applies to waste and fleet operations.
• NEBOSH National General Certificate (or equivalent), or IOSH membership/working towards it — the practical floor for anyone owning a compliance matrix, ensuring credibility with HSE and DVSA auditors.

Key responsibilities:

• Build and maintain a comprehensive training and competency matrix covering all operational roles (drivers, loaders, street cleansing operatives, and other frontline staff).
• Deliver training to a consistently high standard, aligned with Council training standards and contractual/legislative obligations, tailoring content to specific operational needs.
• Coach drivers to improve driving skills, reduce accidents, and prevent Operator License contraventions.
• Arrange and coordinate any specialist training delivery via internal colleagues or external providers where it falls outside personal expertise, ensuring every session is properly recorded against the matrix.
• Deliver core inductions for new permanent, temporary and agency staff, and coordinate site inductions and policy briefings for agency workers before they commence duties.
• Conduct driver assessments, vehicle familiarisation, walk-round check training, and periodic reassessments.
