We’re working with a well-established and highly respected logistics operation who are known for doing things properly — from how they run their fleet, to how they look after their people.
They’re now looking for a Transport Planner to join their PM shift team. This is a role for someone who takes pride in accuracy, ownership, and keeping things running smoothly in a fast-paced environment.
You’ll be planning a fleet of around 30 vehicles (Class 1 & Class 2), playing a key role in ensuring operations run safely, efficiently, and with a high level of attention to detail.
Why This Role?
This is a business where:
*Hard work is recognised and rewarded
* You’ll be part of a genuinely supportive, down-to-earth team
* People are treated as individuals, not just numbers
* There’s a real focus on doing things properly and to a high standard
* You’ll have the opportunity to learn, grow and develop your career over time
It’s a great fit for someone who wants stability but also wants to be valued and challenged in their role.
The Role
* Plan and coordinate daily routes across a mixed HGV fleet
* Maximise vehicle utilisation and optimise loads
* Manage driver allocations, briefings, and schedule changes
* React quickly to delays, breakdowns, and last-minute changes
* Ensure full compliance with driver hours, WTD and transport regulations
* Maintain accurate records using TMS systems
* Liaise with drivers, customers and internal teams to keep operations running smoothly
* Continuously look for ways to improve efficiency and performance
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in transport / route planning within road haulage
* Strong understanding of Class 1 & Class 2 operations
* Someone who takes ownership and pride in getting things right
* Confident working in a fast-paced, time-critical environment
* Good knowledge of transport compliance and driver regulations
* Strong communicator who can handle pressure and make decisions
* Comfortable working a PM shift pattern
What’s On Offer
*£competitive salary dependent on experience
* Permanent, stable opportunity within a well-run operation
* Supportive team environment with strong leadership
* Real opportunity to develop and progress over time
If you’re someone who enjoys being at the centre of the operation and takes pride in delivering a high standard of work, this could be a great next step.
