We would expect this person to be confident enough to be able to pick up the phone and call either a Director, or a driver or any employee as half the staff are never on site each day. You will be sitting with the Finance team, but you will be required to spend a little bit of time each week in the transport office to ensure you get to know people and meet some drivers, as it’s the main operation of the business. There will be occasional travel to other sites.
