About the role

As Nightshift Supervisor, you’ll be responsible for keeping our night operations running smoothly. You’ll organise jobs for the nightshift team, manage trailer movements, and make sure everything is where it needs to be, on time and in order.

You will be responsible for:

• Organising jobs and collections for nightshift colleagues
• Loading and emptying trailers, and creating load lists/manifests
• Ensuring trailers are at ferry terminals on time for scheduled departures
• Entering jobs into the system and completing handover paperwork
• Dealing with any issues that arise during the night and reporting to management
• Coordinating with planning and warehouse teams to keep operations flowing

You’ll be part of a mixed and supportive team in Inverness, working 10-hour shifts from Monday to Friday. The role is hands-on, fast-paced, and vital to keeping our logistics network moving overnight.

About you

You’ll need to have previous supervisory experience and be confident leading a team. A valid HGV Class 1 licence and Forklift licence are essential, along with a good working knowledge of Microsoft systems for entering jobs and managing records.

We’re looking for someone who’s well-organised, proactive, and able to work both independently and as part of a team. You’ll be joining a mixed group of colleagues who support each other and take pride in getting the job done efficiently.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
