Love taking the lead of a busy operation, keeping people safe, performance high, and budgets tight, while still having the buzz of a great shift? Ready to lead from the front, build a powerhouse team, smash KPIs, and leave every shift better than you found it? Join us as our Transport Shift Manager!

As our Transport Shift Manager, you will be joining our large operation in our Dartford depot, for our customer Sainsburys. This is a full-time, permanent position with 40 hours per week contracted. Working any 5 days out of 7, on a shift pattern of 14:00 pm to 22:00 pm (flexibility required for business needs).

Pay, benefits and more:

  • We’re looking to offer a salary of up to £45,000 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:

  • Run a safe, slick, high-performing shift — leading from the front to deliver results, control costs, and keep Health & Safety non-negotiable
  • Build, develop, and inspire a powerhouse team through coaching, training, meaningful reviews, and clear succession planning
  • Own the numbers — manage budgets, track KPIs, explain variances, and turn performance data into action
  • Make every shift better than the last by driving accountability, fixing root causes, embedding right-first-time processes, and championing continuous improvement
  • Keep everyone aligned and informed with clear communication, professional stakeholder management, and sharp end-of-shift handovers

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
