About Us
Established for over 40 years, Kane Group is a proud, family-run business providing a comprehensive range of specialist services to the construction industry. From our base in St Albans, we deliver high-quality solutions across earthworks, concrete crushing, asbestos removal, and aggregate supply. Our reputation is built on reliability, safety, and operational excellence. With an expanding, modern tipper fleet, we continue to support major infrastructure and construction projects across Hertfordshire, London, and the Home Counties.
The Role
We are seeking a proactive, highly organised Transport Planner to take charge of the day-to-day planning, routing, and operations of our large, modern tipper fleet. Working closely alongside our experienced Transport Managers, you will keep our fleet moving efficiently and handle real-time logistical challenges. Experience within the construction or bulk haulage industry is ideal but not strictly required—what matters most is your drive, logical thinking, and strong organisational skills.
Key Responsibilities
- Route Planning: Plan and schedule our fleet of tippers to efficiently supply aggregate and muck-away services to our own internal contracts as well as third parties.
- Team Collaboration: Work closely alongside the Transport Managers to maintain smooth operations and provide a great level of service to all clients.
- Order Management: Take orders from customers and order materials from suppliers accurately.
- Customer Service: Actively take incoming calls, handling client requests and operational queries quickly and professionally.
- Record Keeping & Admin: Handle essential record keeping and general administration tasks within the transport office to ensure organised files and accurate data.
- Driver Coordination: Serve as the main point of contact for drivers, issuing clear site instructions and resolving on-the-road disruptions.
What We Are Looking For
- The Right Person: Background within the construction industry is a benefit but full on-the-job training will be provided for the right candidate. This is a great way to enter the construction logistics sector or move forward in your existing career.
- Key Skills: Must be highly proactive, detail-oriented, and exceptionally well-organised.
- Communication Skills: Confident telephone manner with the ability to handle calls and queries under pressure.
- Geographical Knowledge: Strong understanding of Hertfordshire, London, and Home Counties road networks.

- Competitive salary of £30,000 - £40,000 (dependent on experience).

Pay: £30,000.00-£40,000.00 per year
