Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The QRA Manager – Transport is responsible for managing quality, risk and assurance activities across DHL’s transport operations in the United Kingdom. The role typically requires experience in transport compliance, auditing, risk assessment, incident investigation, quality management and regulatory standards. Candidates are expected to understand UK transport legislation, work confidently with operational teams and stakeholders, analyse performance data, and develop practical improvement plans. Strong communication, influencing, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential. Experience in logistics, fleet operations, health and safety, ISO standards or a similar assurance environment would be advantageous. The successful candidate should be comfortable conducting reviews, reporting risks to senior management and supporting a culture of continuous improvement.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
