This is a hands-on supervisory role where you'll provide day-to-day leadership and support to our drivers, help coordinate the operation, monitor performance and ensure our transport processes and service levels are consistently met. You'll also provide operational cover for the Transport Manager when required, giving you the opportunity to take on additional responsibility within a busy transport environment.,

• Supervise and support drivers and transport colleagues, providing visible day-to-day leadership.
• Help ensure compliance with the Operator Licence, DVSA requirements, legislation and Copart policies.
• Monitor driver attendance, performance, welfare, conduct and compliance.

• Experience supervising drivers or working within a transport operation.
• Good knowledge of UK transport legislation and compliance requirements.

• The ability to stay calm, prioritise and make effective decisions in a busy operational environment.

Experience in car transport, vehicle remarketing or salvage would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

Why Copart?
