The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day transport function, ensuring schedules are effectively managed and all transport documentation is completed accurately.

• Prepare, process and maintain accurate transport documentation.
• Manage proof of delivery paperwork and transport records.
• Monitor vehicle movements and communicate updates where required.
• Respond to operational changes and support the resolution of transport-related issues.
• Provide administrative support to the wider transport team.
• Ensure all transport activities are completed in accordance with company procedures and compliance requirements.

 
Essential Criteria:

• Previous experience within a Transport Planner or Coordinator role
• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
• Effective communication skills and the ability to build professional working relationships.
• The ability to prioritise workload and meet deadlines within a fast-paced environment.
• Competent IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
• A willingness to work within a traditional, paperwork-led transport operation.
