  • Client Liaison: Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, ensuring their requirements are met and any issues are resolved quickly and professionally.
  • Compliance & Safety: Ensure all transport activities adhere to legal regulations, company policies, and health & safety standards. This includes maintaining accurate records of vehicle maintenance, driver hours, and any incidents.

  • Cost Control: Continually assess transport routes and performance to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising service quality.


What You’ll Bring:

  • Proven Experience: You will have previous experience working in a Transport Planner role, with a solid understanding of transport operations and route planning.
  • Geographical Knowledge: You’ll need strong knowledge of the UK road network, particularly around Leeds and the surrounding areas, to make smart routing decisions.
  • Strong Communication Skills: The ability to manage multiple stakeholders – from drivers to customers – with clear and effective communication.
  • Attention to Detail: You’ll be someone who doesn’t miss a thing, ensuring that every aspect of the transport process is carefully managed.
  • Tech-Savvy: Experience using transport planning software and systems will be highly advantageous.


Why Apply?

  • Competitive Salary: Earn £35k - £40k per annum depending on experience.
  • Career Progression: You’ll be joining a growing company with opportunities to advance as we expand.
  • Dynamic Working Environment: Be part of a supportive team where your ideas and solutions will be valued and rewarded.
