Driver Operations Manager

Keep Østlandet’s groceries moving and become our Driver Operations Manager

As a Driver Operations Manager, you lead a large, multinational team of drivers, including part-time colleagues, and their Team Leaders. You have personnel responsibility for the team and make sure it works in a safe, compliant, and motivating environment. You own the results in HSE, compliance, performance, cost, and engagement, and you achieve them by building a team that wants to deliver. As a key member of the Driver Organization management team at OSL2, you help shape how we run our operation every day.

We believe you thrive in this role if you are a visible, hands-on leader who is approachable and communicates openly and honestly. You stay confident in difficult situations and address issues directly. You enjoy leading a large, multinational team with the drive and resilience to keep standards high and the team culture strong. Additionally, you are well organised, stay close to the operation, and adapt quickly when things change, always looking for a better way to operate.
