Transport Manager | Colchester / Essex
I’m working with an established transport operation looking to appoint an experienced Transport Manager to take responsibility for the day-to-day running, compliance and performance of its transport operation.
A key part of the operation is its commitment to DVSA Earned Recognition, so we’re particularly interested in speaking with Transport Managers who have experience working within an Earned Recognition environment or other highly regulated transport operations.
This is a role for someone who understands that good transport management is about more than simply keeping vehicles moving.
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.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring the operation is safe, compliant, efficient and well controlled, working closely with drivers, operational teams and senior management.
We’re looking for:
- Transport Manager CPC / Certificate of Professional Competence
- Strong knowledge of DVSA and Operator Licence compliance
- HGV / LGV transport management experience
- Understanding of driver hours, tachographs, vehicle compliance and defect management
- Experience managing drivers and transport operations
- A proactive approach to compliance and continuous improvement
- The confidence and authority to maintain high operating standards

DVSA Earned Recognition experience would be highly advantageous, but isn't essential.
I'm interested in speaking with experienced Transport Managers who are looking for their next challenge, as well as strong Transport Supervisors / Fleet Managers / Senior Transport professionals who may be ready to step up.
If this sounds like you — or someone you know — drop me a message for a confidential conversation.
