Job Description:

Transport and Operations Assistant

Sprotbrough, Doncaster
Full-time | Permanent

Are you highly organised, confident on the phones, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same? We’re working with a respected family-run waste and transport company, to find a Transport and Operations Assistant who can keep things moving, literally.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be at the heart of the operation, supporting the Transport Manager to make sure vehicles, drivers, and customers are all running smoothly. From planning daily routes to managing compliance documents, handling customer enquiries, and problem-solving on the fly, this is a role that rewards initiative and attention to detail.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate daily vehicle routes for skip hire and waste services.
• Communicate with drivers, customers, and suppliers to keep operations running seamlessly.
• Maintain accurate records for compliance, waste transfers, and transport reports.
• Assist with vehicle checks, tachograph downloads, and defect reports.
• Support customer enquiries, quotations, and service follow-ups.
• Get involved in improving systems and even use AI tools and social media to support the business.

What We’re Looking For

• Excellent organisation, communication, and multitasking skills.
• Confident using IT systems (MS365, WasteLogics, or similar).
• Proactive attitude with the ability to think on your feet.
• Reliable, professional, and able to handle a busy environment.
• Previous experience in Transport, Waste Management, or Logistics is ideal, but strong admin and customer service skills will go a long way too!

Why You’ll Love It

• Work for a long-established, family-run business with a loyal client base.
• Be part of a close-knit, hard-working team where your input is valued.
• Enjoy a varied and fast-paced role with room to grow and develop.

If you’re the type of person who thrives under pressure, takes pride in keeping things organised, and loves being part of a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.
