About Foodari

Foodari is a growing fresh food distribution business based in Molash, Kent. We supply high-quality produce and food products to customers across the South East England, including restaurants, hotels, schools and royal households.

Our transport operation plays a central role in ensuring that customer orders are planned accurately, picked efficiently and delivered on time. As the business continues to grow, we are investing in our people, systems and processes to build a reliable and forward-thinking operation.

We are a practical, fast-moving business where teams work closely together and individuals are encouraged to take responsibility, contribute ideas and support continuous improvement.

About the role:

Are you organised, curious and looking for an opportunity to begin or develop a career in transport and logistics?

We are looking for an ambitious individual to join our transport team in a development role that provides hands-on experience across different areas of transport operations.

You do not need previous specialist experience. You will work closely with our Operations Manager, Transport Supervisor and Route Planner, gaining practical experience in transport planning, driver coordination, compliance, fleet administration, operational reporting and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities:

Driver and Transport Administration

Conducting Return to Work interviews.
Processing driver holiday requests and absence records.
Reviewing and authorising driver timesheets.
Managing PCN administration.
Supporting driver communications.
Assisting with health and safety, compliance documentation and record-keeping.

Transport Operations

Supporting the daily transport operation.
Investigating delivery issues and customer queries.
Producing operational reports.
Identifying trends and opportunities for improvement.
Supporting transport compliance.

Route Planning:

Monitoring daily order volumes.
Helping to ensure routes remain up to date.
Coordinating planning changes with the warehouse.
Supporting efficient workflow throughout the picking operation.
Assisting with route optimisation and planning activities.

As your training progresses, you will take increasing responsibility for preparing the weekend operation, including:

Planning Saturday deliveries.
Producing the initial Monday delivery plan for confirmed customer orders.
Coordinating with the warehouse to maximise Saturday order picking.
Preparing a structured handover for the Route Planner.

As your experience develops, you will also be trained to provide holiday cover for our Route Planner, giving you valuable experience in planning and managing a live transport operation.

An Ideal Candidate Should:

Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
The ability to manage competing priorities and follow tasks through.
A practical approach to problem-solving and learning new systems.
The ability to build positive and effective working relationships.
A willingness to take responsibility, learn and respond constructively to feedback.
Be willing to understand and embody Foodari values

What We Offer

Full training and ongoing support.
Exposure to different areas of transport operations.
Structured development with experienced transport professionals.
Opportunities to further develop leadership and management skills.

Why Join Us?

This role is suited to someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, solving practical problems and improving the way things work.

You will gain broad practical experience, contribute meaningfully to operational improvements and gradually take on greater responsibility as your knowledge and confidence develop.

Recruitment Process

Stage 1: Application screening and initial video interview.
Stage 2: In-person interview with the Hiring Manager and HR.
Stage 3: Reference checks.
Stage 4: Job offer and induction.
