Love transport?  Passionate about planning routes and maximising loads?  Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment surrounded by a supportive and bubbly team?  We’ve got just the role for you…

Working Monday to Friday, initially with weekends on a rota basis, when training completed. You will be planning deliveries internationally as well as in the UK.  Liaising with multiple customers and the delivery points we’ll need you to build relationships quickly with our drivers and subcontractors. This will help ensure you can maximise vehicle utilisation.  It’s important that you have a good understanding of driver’s hours and regulations which will ensure you excel in the role, but don’t worry we can give you this training to help you succeed.

We’ll also need you to look at costings and communicate any issues. A background in transport administration would be beneficial as there will be paperwork and administration to be completed, so we’ll need you to lend a hand in ensuring this is correct and finalised. You’ll be working with a great team who enjoy what they do so you’ll be well looked after to perform to your best.

 

Now about what we can give you.  You’ll become part of a great business who take our people development seriously.  You’ll be able to access some fantastic benefits such as:

• Life assurance cover
• Contributory company pension scheme
• Free ferry travel for up to 4 guests between Dover and Calais / Newcastle and Amsterdam with no limit on trips
• Regular Team social events for employees and families
