Fine Art and Specialist Logistics
Fine art and specialist logistics is one of the most fascinating corners of the transport world — one day you're planning the safe collection of a gallery installation, the next you're routing a fleet across the country for a high-value relocation. No two weeks look the same, and the work genuinely matters to the clients who trust you with it.
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established, specialist logistics operator for a Transport Logistics Supervisor to join their transport leadership team. This is a desk-based, planning-heavy role at the heart of the operation — you'll be the person keeping the wheels turning (literally) behind the scenes.
You don't need art industry experience. What you do need is genuine transport and logistics know-how, and — most importantly — real confidence managing drivers and crews.
What you'll be doing:
- Managing rotas and availability for 15+ drivers and technicians, scheduling collections and deliveries and keeping resources optimally allocated
- Planning and coordinating weekly domestic logistics activity, with the flexibility to adapt when plans change at short notice
- Providing phone support to drivers on the road and acting as a calm, capable point of contact when things go sideways
- Monitoring driver hours, CPC compliance and holiday/timekeeping alongside line managers
- Coordinating vehicle servicing, MOTs and workshop visits
- Assisting with import/export customs processes for cross-border jobs
- Building strong client relationships, providing quotations and follow-up
- Working closely with Projects, Shipping, Customs and Warehouse teams, plus supporting recruitment and onboarding of new drivers
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for:
- Proven experience in transport, fleet planning, logistics or distribution
- Previous supervisory or team-leading experience
- A proper grafter — hardworking, hands-on and happy to get stuck in rather than just delegate
- Someone who can confidently manage a wide range of driver personalities: give clear direction, hold people accountable, and stay unflustered under pressure
- Excellent UK geographical knowledge
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail and a methodical approach
- A proactive problem-solver, comfortable thinking on your feet
- Comfortable being contactable by mobile/WhatsApp outside normal hours for urgent driver queries — this isn't routine out-of-hours working, just being reachable when genuinely needed
