*Responsible for the efficient and timely planning of delivery routes ensuring loads are to maximum loading capacity wherever possible whilst conforming to vehicle and VOSA loading standards (in terms of volume, weight and sufficient restraint), thus ensuring the best possible return in terms of payload value and vehicle efficiency.
*Provide support, including ’boots on the ground’ practical support, and advice to the Warehousing and Logistics Team and other stakeholders and influence staff and key decision makers to accept change where appropriate.
*Safe Fork lift truck operations within the facility and yard areas.
*Ensuring that deadlines and outcomes are met and monitored, offering advice, support and guidance as required.
