Company: Sovereign Transport Services (Part of the VictorianPlumbing.co.uk Group)
Ready to steer your career in the right direction? We are looking for an experienced Transport Manager to take the wheel of our logistics operations and keep our nationwide distribution running as smoothly as a freshly polished chrome tap.
As part of the Victorian Plumbing Group, we deliver top-tier bathroom products to homes across the UK every single day. Now, we need a compliance champion to ensure our fleet operations remain completely watertight.

- Stay on Track: Monitor drivers' hours, tachograph compliance, and statutory rest periods to keep operations legally compliant and running like clockwork.
- Tighten Up Loading: Oversee vehicle loading operations to guarantee loads are secure, balanced, and safely within legal weight limits before they hit the road.
- Audit Ready: Maintain bulletproof transport records and act as our key liaison with the DVSA and Traffic Commissioner.
