Whatever the challenge, Parcelforce delivers. Together, we’re moving packages around the world, keeping promises and people connected. There is a fantastic opportunity to join our team at our site in Medway. In this role, you will lead a team, being accountable for health and safety, operational quality, cost, and people KPIs.
About the role:
As a line manager to delivery and collection drivers, including self-employed owner drivers, you will achieve maximum efficiency through resource and contingency planning, driving quality of service and maximizing productivity. Working to tight timescales, you will drive the depot to achieve the highest possible customer service satisfaction levels while ensuring a swift resolution to all customer inquiries and complaints.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring the performance of your unit, effectively maintaining the quality of service for our customers and the overall safety of the people you manage, while working closely with the local sales team to increase revenue opportunities and highlight any network conformance issues.
Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 13.00 - 21.00. A degree of flexibility is required to meet operational demands.
About you:
It takes more than organizational skills to be a manager. We’re looking for individuals with a passion for people. You’ll provide coaching and advice while keeping the whole operation running smoothly. A natural leader and experienced manager, you’ll enjoy guiding teams through significant periods of change, utilizing your ability to motivate, inspire, and lead. You’ll have an eye for detail and be confident in efficiently managing resources and budgets – all with a view to ensuring your team is working at its very best.
You’ll understand how important it is to build strong relationships with your team, unions, and key stakeholders – and you’ll show a genuine passion for what you do. Positive, proactive, and personable, you won’t just ensure strong operational performance; you’ll never let us compromise on service. Ideally, with a background in express parcels, you’ll possess some experience working in a unionized environment.
Closing date: Sunday 23rd March. Please note, this advert may close early if the appropriate number of applications has been reached.
