Support transport improvement projects and operational changes.

Deliver driver inductions, carry out driving assessments and provide additional coaching and training where required.

Promote best practice across transport operations and compliance.

Support other departments during busy periods, holidays and sickness absence.

Undertake any other reasonable duties required to support the successful operation of the business.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an organised and proactive individual with previous transport or logistics experience who enjoys working in a dynamic environment and can make confident decisions under pressure.

You will ideally have:

Previous experience in a Transport Controller, Transport Planner or similar logistics role.

Experience planning within a temperature-controlled distribution or FMCG environment.

A good understanding of UK drivers' hours legislation and transport compliance.

Experience coordinating resources, including drivers and vehicles, to meet operational demands.

Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to build effective working relationships at all levels.

Excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workloads and adapt to changing business needs.

A proactive approach to problem solving and the confidence to make sound operational decisions.

Experience producing and analysing operational data and performance reports.

Good IT skills, including experience using ERP, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management Systems (TMS).

High attention to detail and a commitment to delivering excellent customer service.

A flexible, positive and team-focused approach.

What We Offer
