Job Description
Overview
Wincanton Group Transport is responsible for the subcontracting spend of over £100m spread across multiple sectors such as Retail, Grocery, General Merchandise, Construction, and Industrial.
This function has recently relocated to a bespoke control tower in Nottingham.
In line with anticipated growth, we have an exciting opportunity to join the control tower as a subcon automation deployment manager. The role will report into the Subcon Automation General Manager.
Following Wincanton's purchase of the evergreen license in the UK and Ireland of the Zeus digital freight platform, which has now been rebranded as the EyeQ digital marketplace, the successful candidate will be expected to manage the transition of our haulage community onto the digital platform. This will involve digitising all of Wincanton's current subcontract spend. This includes devising a robust rollout plan for training our technologies, including a new driver app. This implementation needs to be in line with the business direction and strategic objectives, including relationships and the development of a transport community. You will be required to onboard hauliers and drivers to new technologies, increase coverage, and improve payment processes. Once the existing haulage base has been onboarded, the expectation is to roll the platform out to the wider UK haulage network and to grow our community.
The role is based at our new Nottingham control tower with the requirement to travel to sites and hauliers.
