The Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced logistics leader to join our Land Recovery business as a Senior Logistics Manager, based at our Stoke office. This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a national logistics operation that runs 24/7 across the UK.
As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team onsite, you'll lead the safe, compliant and efficient movement of heavy plant and aggregates, overseeing our in-house fleet of HGVs and a team of planners, compliance specialists and operational colleagues. This is far more than a traditional Transport Manager role, you'll have the opportunity to shape culture, influence operational performance and build a mindset of ownership across your team while ensuring the business continues to deliver exceptional standards of compliance and customer service.
If you enjoy combining strategic thinking with hands-on leadership, thrive in a fast-paced operational environment and want to lead a critical business function with genuine autonomy, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead the day-to-day logistics operation, ensuring the safe, efficient and compliant movement of materials and equipment across a nationwide 24/7 operation.
- Act as the named holder of the company's Operator Licence, maintaining full compliance with all DVSA and Operator Licence undertakings and ensuring best practice across transport operations.
- Lead, develop and support a team of planners, compliance and operational colleagues, creating a positive culture focused on accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
- Oversee fleet performance, driver compliance, tachograph and working time regulations, ensuring the business maintains the highest standards of safety and legal compliance.

- You'll have strong organisational and decision-making skills, with the confidence to balance strategic priorities alongside operational challenges.
We are committed to building a diverse environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. You will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age.
