Know your Driver CPC from your tachograph? Read on…..
We're looking for a Driver Training & Development Manager who can develop great drivers, champion road safety, and spot a compliance issue before it becomes a conversation nobody wants to have.
If you're passionate about driver training, HGV operations, fleet compliance, road safety, coaching, and helping drivers succeed, this could be the role for you.
You'll lead our driver training strategy across multiple depots, working closely with HR, Fleet Management, Transport Managers, and Driver Trainers to ensure our drivers are safe, compliant, confident, and ready for whatever the road throws at them (except low bridges—we'd prefer to avoid those).
What You'll Be Doing
* Recruiting, onboarding, and developing professional HGV drivers.
* Managing Driver CPC compliance, assessments, training programmes, and coaching initiatives.
* Supporting Lead Driver Trainers and Driver Mentors across the business.
* Monitoring telematics, driver performance, and compliance trends.
* Turning driver infringements into learning opportunities rather than repeat performances.
* Investigating incidents and helping prevent future ones.
* Producing KPI reports that people actually read.
* Visiting depots, supporting managers, and driving continuous improvement.
What We're Looking For
* Valid Class 1 (C+E) Licence, Driver CPC, and Digital Tachograph Card.
* Driver Trainer, Train the Trainer, or Driver Assessor qualification.
* Experience in transport, logistics, fleet management, or driver development.
* Strong coaching and leadership skills.
* The ability to balance compliance, operational demands, and common sense.
* Someone who can challenge constructively, support positively, and keep standards high.
Why apply?
Because driver training isn't just about ticking boxes.
It's about building a team of professional drivers who represent the business with pride, stay safe on the road, and understand that "I've been doing it this way for 20 years" isn't always the strongest training argument.
You'll play a key role in improving driver performance, reducing incidents, strengthening compliance, and helping shape the future of our transport operation.
If you enjoy developing people, improving standards, and occasionally explaining for the hundredth time why walkaround checks matter, we'd love to hear from you
