Transport and Operations Manager

Are you an experienced front‑line leader in transport or warehousing? Do you thrive in a fast‑paced operation where no two days are the same? Are you ready to step up, take ownership, and lead teams across both warehouse and transport activities? If you’re proactive, people‑focused and ready for a role where you can make an impact, we want to hear from you!

Here at GXO Logistics, we’re looking for a Transport & Warehouse Operations Manager to join our B&Q operation in Cambuslang. In this hands‑on leadership role, you’ll lead the day‑to‑day transport and warehouse operation, ensuring contractual performance, customer satisfaction, compliance standards and operational KPIs are consistently delivered.

This is a full-time, permanent position working on an ‘any 5 from 7’ shift pattern. You will predominantly work Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:00. However flexibility is essential, this is logistics after all!

Pay, benefits and more:

• You’ll be paid a salary of up to £52,000 per annum, depending upon experience.
• You’ll also receive 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance.
• Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme.
• You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more.
• You’ll also have access to our GXO University which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with.
• There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 60% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Lead the delivery of all transport and warehouse operations for the Cambuslang B&Q Distribution Centre, ensuring contractual KPIs, service levels and customer requirements are consistently achieved.
• Manage daily activities across transport and warehouse teams, supporting Shift Managers and driving performance.
• Oversee all aspects of operational planning, resource levels, agency usage and cost control.
• Produce, analyse and present operational reports, identifying insights and actions.
• Build strong relationships with the customer and GXO senior stakeholders, ensuring outstanding service delivery.
• Ensure legal compliance across transport operations, including fleet, safety and statutory processes.
• Drive continuous improvement and change initiatives across the site.
• Resolve customer service issues, manage discrepancies and drive service excellence.
• Maintain a safe, compliant and high‑performance environment in line with QHSE, HR and company policies.

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• Proven experience managing teams in a busy transport and warehouse environment, with strong knowledge of transport operations and compliance.
• International CPC.
• Excellent communication, leadership and stakeholder management skills with a strong track record of influencing at all levels and delivering results.
• Understanding of operational cost drivers, P&L management and KPI frameworks.
