The chances are you’ll have seen our brightly coloured vehicles on the road delivering our food, so why not share our success and come and work for us? We’re a great company to work for and we have permanent opportunity for a Transport supervisor to become part of the Transport Team in our Paddock Wood depot.

We recognise that the quality of our Transport teams is instrumental to our success. Our Transport Supervisor needs to be able to induct, train, mentor and engage their teams, to inspire them to be the best they can be.

You’ll need experience in a fast-moving food distribution environment; you will also have good computer literacy skills with knowledge of MS Office applications and be flexible in order to meet the needs of the business. If this is you, we look forward to hearing from you. The working pattern will be shifts across 5 days out of seven, including some weekend cover.
