Who enjoys moving Boxes ! Big Ones?

UK container logistics specialist with over 20 years moving the big stuff from A to B, without the drama. Our secret? A mix of smart planning, hardworking people, and a shared love for a job well done (and maybe the occasional bacon roll).

We’re now on the hunt for two Transport Operators to join our Felixstowe operations team — people who know their way around a port, understand how to get the most out of an HGV fleet, and can keep cool when things get... well, container-shaped.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Plan, schedule, and coordinate daily container collections and deliveries
  • Manage HGV driver assignments, ensuring compliance with working time and transport regulations
  • Liaise with ports, customers, and internal teams to ensure accurate and timely movements
  • Track and monitor container movements using transport management systems (TMS)
  • Optimise fleet utilisation and reduce empty mileage
  • Respond to any operational issues and adapt plans as needed to maintain service levels


What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience in container-based road transport operations (essential)
  • Strong working knowledge of UK ports (Felixstowe experience desirable)
  • Familiarity with driver regulations and road transport compliance
  • Excellent organisational and problem-solving skills
  • Confident communicator with good customer service approach
  • Proficient with logistics software or TMS (training provided if needed)
