Full job description

Company Overview

Lymers Assist Ltd is a busy, family‑run specialist haulage company moving modular buildings, heavy plant and abnormal loads.

Our Transport Office is the centre of the operation—planning routes, organising movements, supporting drivers and making sure every load gets where it needs to be.

If you enjoy problem‑solving, staying organised and being part of a friendly, down‑to‑earth team, you’ll fit right in with us.

Summary

We are looking for a full-time Senior General and Abnormal Load Planner to join our traffic team at a busy, ambitious, and growing depot in Huthwaite.

This full time role will see you be part of an operation running a 31-vehicle fleet across General Haulage, Abnormal Load, and STGO work.

With live vehicle tracking and Transportec as its transport management system, the business is investing in the systems, technology, and infrastructure needed to improve performance, visibility, and future growth.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where the successful candidate can take real ownership of daily planning, support the Transport Office, and play an important part in the continued success of the business.

No two days are the same in this varied and fast-moving role. You will plan routes, allocate loads, manage driver schedules, solve live operational challenges, and help ensure collections and deliveries are completed safely, efficiently, and on time.

It is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys pace, responsibility, problem-solving, and being at the centre of a busy transport operation.

Responsibilities

Plan and schedule daily vehicle routes and driver allocations
Use transport management systems, vehicle tracking, and other operational software effectively
Support the transport team with general operational duties as needed
Coordinate collections and deliveries across the UK
Help maximise vehicle utilisation and reduce empty running
Monitor driver hours and support compliance with transport legislation and Working Time Directive regulations
Work closely with the Transport Manager to align vehicle planning with maintenance schedules and support site compliance
Liaise professionally with drivers, customers, warehouses, and subcontractors
Respond quickly and calmly to operational issues, including delays, breakdowns, and route changes
Ensure all transport documentation is completed accurately
Maintain clear and regular communication with customers regarding delivery schedules and updates

Skills and Experience Required

Experience supporting or managing a busy transport office or operation
A positive, hands-on team player who brings a flexible, professional, and can-do approach
A background in transport planning or haulage operations is essential for success in this role
A good working knowledge of UK road transport regulations and tachograph rules
Strong geographical knowledge of the UK road network
Well-organised, practical, and confident when solving day-to-day operational challenges
Comfortable working under pressure and adapting to changing priorities in a fast-moving environment
Clear, confident communication skills with a customer-focused approach
Confident using Microsoft Office and transport planning systems
Able to work independently while also contributing positively as part of the wider team
