- Co-ordinate and prepare a daily Inbound Delivery schedule by booking in deliveries with suppliers and communicating this to your warehouse and other relevant colleagues.
- Troubleshooting and resolving and issues that may arise during the day.
- Communication with customers and suppliers as needed to keep them informed of any changes to their booked arrival time.
- Sound knowledge of VOSA Requirements in order to be compliant in achieving above which includes maintaining the necessary Transport Documentation. This includes tachograph downloads & infringement management, monitoring and managing driver’s hours and ensuring OCRS points remain ‘green’ at all times.
- Ensuring commercial vehicles are maintained in accordance with the Planned Schedules, liaising with colleagues to ensure it happens and monitor progress
- Addressing any issues on the vehicles that arise as a result of the Maintenance or during normal day to day operations.
- Report, evaluate and solve non-conformance matters that arise during the day
- Ensuring Drivers are trained and Training Records are up to date
- Assist in the recruitment process as required.
- Prepare and submit management reports including analysis & KPIs
