Traffic Operations Manager

York Pullman Bus Company Limited

Traffic Operations Manager

Job Summary

Traffic Operations Manager – Keep the Wheels Turning!

We’re not just another operator — we’re one of the UK’s largest independent bus and coach companies, and behind every great journey is a team that makes it all happen.

Right now, we’re on the lookout for a Traffic Operations Manager who thrives in a fast-moving environment, loves solving problems on the fly, and knows exactly what it takes to keep buses and coaches running like clockwork.

If you’ve got real experience in bus and coach operations and enjoy being at the heart of the action, this could be your next move.

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are the same — and that’s exactly how you like it.

  • Keeping daily operations running smoothly (even when things don’t go to plan)
  • Working closely with our team of schedulers to deliver efficient, reliable services
  • Making quick, confident decisions when challenges arise
  • Supporting drivers and operational staff to keep everything on track
  • Ensuring we stay fully compliant with transport regulations
  • Playing a key role in delivering a top-quality service to our customers

What We’re Looking For

This isn’t a sit-back-and-watch role — we need someone who knows the industry and gets stuck in.

  • Solid experience in transport, ideally bus and coach operations (this is essential)
  • A PCV licence (already have this or certainly be prepared to obtain one)
  • Transport Manager CPC (great to have, but not essential as long as you’d be prepared to train to get one)
  • A calm head under pressure and a problem-solving mindset
  • Strong communication skills — you’ll be dealing with people all day
  • Flexibility to work weekends on a rota basis

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a large, independent operator where your impact is real
  • Work with a supportive, experienced operations team
  • A role that keeps you engaged, challenged, and never bored
  • The chance to take ownership and make a difference every single day

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary £40k pa
  • Supportive and experienced team
  • Opportunity to shape and develop processes within a growing company
  • Extensive company benefits package including free bus travel, discounted rail travel, healthcare cash-back scheme and discounts and many major high-street retailers
  • Company pension scheme
  • A varied and rewarding role at the heart of our organisation

If you’re someone who enjoys the buzz of transport operations and takes pride in keeping things moving — we’d love to hear from you.
