  • Experience in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment (ideally transport or similar)
  • A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel between depots
  • Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder management skills

  • Confident use of Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, etc.)
  • Familiarity with ISO45001 and/or sustainability frameworks (desirable, not essential)
