£32,000 – £35,000 (DOE) | Peterborough (PE2) | 4 on / 4 off | 06:00–18:00
My client is seeking an experienced Traffic Operator to join their busy container operation based in Peterborough. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly, supportive team within a fast-paced transport environment, coordinating a wide range of trailer types including containers, fridges, flatbeds and curtainsiders.
If you thrive in a role where every day is different and you’re confident making quick decisions, this could be an excellent fit for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
*Planning daily container movements and other loads.
*Producing accurate load plans and coordinating with dock sailing times.
*Booking containers with shipping lines and maintaining transport documentation.
*Liaising with drivers, warehouse teams and other depots.
*Entering delivery information into internal systems.
*Managing the vehicle booking system (VBS) and helping minimise additional charges.
*Handling customer communication and resolving any issues.
*Supporting colleagues with holiday and sickness cover when needed.
*Contributing to a safe, well-organised working environment.
About the Team & Environment
*On-site role based in PE2.
*Reporting to an experienced Transport Manager with over 10 years in the business.
*Team includes warehouse operatives, operations managers, stock control and a small, close-knit transport office.
*Friendly, approachable, banter-filled environment where everyone supports each other.
*Relaxed approach to breaks – take lunch and downtime when needed.
*Shift pattern: 4 on / 4 off, 06:00–18:00.
What We’re Looking For
*Experience within a Transport Office / Traffic Office (container experience required).
*Background in dock operations is beneficial.
*Strong communicator, confident liaising with drivers, customers and internal teams.
*Able to work well under pressure and "think on your feet".
*Numerate and IT literate (MS Office).
*Flexible, reliable, and team-focused.
*CPC qualification is a bonus but not essential.
What’s On Offer
*£32,000 – £35,000 depending on experience.
*Pension (auto-enrolment).
*Holiday entitlement aligned to the 4 on / 4 off shift pattern.
*A brilliant working culture with long-standing team members.
*ASAP start available – current postholder leaves in early April.
How to Apply
*If you’re an experienced Traffic Operator looking for your next step — or a skilled Transport professional ready to move into a more varied, hands-on role — I would love to hear from you.
*Apply now, email me your CV, or contact me directly for a confidential chat.
