What you'll do
As a Transport Team Leader our drivers will look to you for direction and answers. You’ll have support of the Transport Supervisor, who you’ll report into, but it’ll be down to you to lead team huddles and briefings so everyone knows what is expected of them. This includes daily targets, results and also health and safety and food safety procedures. It’s busy here at Greggs, so you’ll enjoy working in a high speed (not on the road!) environment and rolling up your sleeves by getting behind the wheels of our trucks to make sure the nations favourite products are ready in our shops to serve our loyal customers.
On the first step on the management ladder, you’ll be hungry for that extra responsibility and be able to demonstrate that you have what it takes.
