- Optimise fleet utilisation and minimise vehicle downtime and operational costs.
- Monitor financial and operational KPIs and take action to improve profitability.

Ideal Candidate:
- We are looking for someone who has previously worked as an Operations Manager, Head of Operations, Transport Manager, Branch/Terminal Manager or similar senior role in a transport, logistics, consolidated cargo/haulage or mobility company.
The Person We Want:
- If you see empty seats as lost revenue, unused vehicle capacity as a business opportunity, and operational challenges as problems to solve, this opportunity may be for you.
- The successful candidate will be measured on passenger/cargo growth, revenue, vehicle utilisation, cost control, profitability, customer experience and team performance.
Application Closing Date
17th October, 2026.
