Great opportunity for an experienced Route Planner to join our distribution and logistics team at our Fresh Direct site in Bicester . You will be joining a small team that keep our network running, ensuring we deliver an exceptional level of service to our customers.

You'll be responsible for making sure all routes are optimised so that operational targets are achieved – your amazing planning and organisational skills will be critical to your success. With no two days the same, you will need to be able to adapt accordingly and deal with unexpected issues as they arise, ensuring that all stakeholders are communicated with in an effective and timely manner. As you would expect within logistics, this is a deadline driven role where you will need to balance the needs of drivers, customers, and account managers – staying calm and focused to get the job done. Working closely with depot operational colleagues, you will also review and refine delivery schedules to ensure maximum efficiency and analyse data from a variety of systems and sources to identify areas for future improvements.

To join us in this role you will be an experienced planner with a good knowledge of the area. You will have a good understanding of driver working time, have used transport planning software and be confident using Microsoft Excel. Experience of SAP would be an advantage but is not essential. You'll have an enthusiastic, can-do attitude, using your experience and logical thinking to overcome challenges as they arise to ensure a positive outcome. This is a great role that offers the opportunity for progression within a large organisation. In addition to a competitive monthly salary, 31 days annual leave (inc. statutory) and company pension, you can also look forward to the following benefits:

  • Wagestream – Access to an app that gives you early access to your earned salary and supports financial wellbeing
  • The option to purchase additional annual leave
  • Help at Hand - Access to 24/7 GP appointments, physiotherapy and a range of health and wellbeing services for you and your family
  • Life assurance
  • Access to Sysco Perks offering discounts across a wide range of products and services – from gym membership to your weekly supermarket shop
  • The ability to purchase our products at hugely discounted prices

To enjoy the rewards of joining our supportive team, apply now.
