What you will be doing
As Transport Compliance Manager, your work centres on ensuring our transport operation is safe, compliant and aligned with all legal and regulatory requirements. You provide independent oversight and assurance that Operator Licence obligations, driver compliance and fleet standards are consistently met across the operation.
Reporting to the Transport General Manager, you maintain strong compliance processes, accurate records and clear control frameworks that support DVSA expectations and audit readiness. You identify risks early, ensure requirements are well understood and provide clear, practical recommendations that strengthen compliance across Transport.
Working closely with Transport Planners, the Driver Team Manager and wider teams to ensure compliance standards are applied consistently, while remaining independent from day‑to‑day planning and people management.
