Transport Clerk

Lineage is the world’s largest and most innovative provider of temperature-controlled logistics solutions with +20,000 colleagues globally. At Lineage, helping to feed the world is more than a job – it’s a purpose we live by every day.

If you open your fridge freezer, up to 20% of the products you’ll see have passed through a Lineage facility. We support customers who keep our schools and restaurants stocked and supplied, as well as working with many of the UK’s leading retailers.

We are currently recruiting for a Transport Operator to join the Transport team at our Grimsby facility.

Shift Pattern Available: 4 on 4 off Days, 06:00–18:00.

Salary: Competitive

The role

In this role you will:

• Monitor the day-to-day transport operations for the site.
• Help keep our fleet safe and legal by managing all aspects of vehicle and driver compliance.
• Liaise with Lineage depots and delivery points to ensure the smooth running of transport operations.
• Assign drivers and vehicles using the transport planning system.
• De-brief drivers and deal with any issues arising from deliveries.
• Manage delivery rejections, including temperature issues, damages and incorrect products.
• Create Goods Return Notifications (GRRS) for all delivery issues.
• Deal with vehicle and trailer breakdowns, ensuring issues are communicated and managed effectively.
• Complete UN invoice job reports.
• Manage the departure diary to ensure timely vehicle departures.
• Carry out scanning, indexing and filing of transport documentation.

• Complete morning site walk-rounds to support trailer allocation and ensure operational readiness.

What we are looking for:

• Previous Transport experience.
• An understanding of driver hours and transport legislation.
• If you understand Transport Management Systems, that would be helpful – though a willingness to learn and plenty of initiative will take you far in our ambitious team.
• As a target-focused individual, you’ll be comfortable meeting tight deadlines. This also means that you’ll be a team-player who is keen to get things done.
• Good IT skills are essential. Excel, Word and Outlook are particularly important.
• Above all else, you’ll share our determination to keep our customers and colleagues happy, so a can-do attitude with brilliant communication and organisation skills is essential.

What's in it for me?

• A permanent opportunity with a direct employer; we will not employ you through an agency.
• Opportunity to develop a career within an industry-leading global company.
• Opportunity to earn an additional day of annual leave each year, up to the maximum of one extra week for length of service.
• Free onsite car park.
• Support your emotional well-being with access to a 24/7 employee assistance phone line offering confidential free counselling and advice.
• Preferential rates for loans and savings offered through exclusive access to a credit union.
