Senior Traffic Operator
Can you coordinate and motivate a busy team while keeping communication clear and consistent? Are you confident allocating work, debriefing drivers, and analyzing driver print-offs to spot and manage infringements? Do you have the attention to detail to monitor delivery paperwork and escalate issues before they become problems?
We are looking for a Senior Traffic Operator to join our Halfords site in Coventry. As a Traffic Operator, you’ll be at the heart of our transport operation—allocating daily work, supporting drivers on the road, and ensuring every job runs smoothly from start to finish. You’ll take ownership of debriefing returning drivers, monitoring delivery paperwork, analyzing driver print-offs, and managing any infringements or issues that arise. If you’re someone who thrives on keeping operations moving efficiently and communicating clearly under pressure, this is your next step.
This is a full-time, permanent position, working Monday to Friday 13:00 to 22:00
Pay, benefits and more:
We’re looking to offer a salary of up to £38,200 per annum, and 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays). Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, life assurance and access to our benefits platform, including retail discounts
What you’ll do on a typical day:
- Lead and develop the team by managing daily operations, allocating driver workloads, conducting performance reviews, supporting Traffic Operators/Admin staff, and maintaining a safe, fair working environment
- Ensure full compliance with SOPs, working time legislation, company policies, defect procedures, accident management processes, vehicle hygiene checks, and escalation requirements
- Oversee driver activity including daily de-briefs, managing infringements, handling day-to-day driver queries, supporting investigations, and completing vehicle accident reports
- Maintain high operational standards through effective resource planning, productivity improvement, managing VORs/breakdowns, overseeing shipments to Ireland and DGN notes, and ensuring delivery shortages/overs are communicated
- Coordinate transport administration by monitoring delivery paperwork, ensuring Connect/tri-scan systems are updated, and providing timely, accurate reporting to the National Transport Manager
