This is a senior, hands-on planning role at the centre of a busy in-house HGV operation. You’ll own day-to-day planning for the fleet, keep it efficient, compliant and fully utilised and be the go-to person for the more complex or time-critical work.

*Briefing and debriefing drivers, producing manifests and transport documentation and keeping operational records accurate
*Monitoring compliance (drivers’ hours, WTD, DVSA, H&S) and identifying opportunities to improve utilisation and service levels
What we’re looking for:
*Strong track record in a transport planning or coordination role, ideally within a 3PL, haulage or distribution environment, planning HGV fleets
*National or International CPC
*Solid working knowledge of UK transport compliance: drivers’ hours, Working Time Directive, DVSA
*Confident using transport management and tracking systems (Mandata experience a strong plus), plus Excel
*Calm under pressure, organised and a clear communicator with drivers, hauliers and customers
*Living within a commutable distance of Yeadon
Why apply:
*Join a well-established, family-run business with a strong reputation and a close-knit team
*Monday to Friday, day shift, no weekend working
*Competitive salary of £40,000 - £45,000 depending on experience
*Stable, permanent position with a business investing in its operation
