Network Transport Systems Coordinator
Due to continued growth, we are looking for a Network Transport Systems Coordinator to help drive smarter planning and data-led decision-making across our operational network. Combining systems expertise, analytical thinking and stakeholder collaboration, you will play a key role in maintaining accurate planning data, supporting operational planning activities and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and performance.
This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in the implementation of a major transport planning system, a first for our UK business. As the system becomes embedded, you will have the opportunity to develop into a key subject matter expert, helping shape how the platform is used across our network and supporting its ongoing success.
You do not need to come from a transport background. We are looking for someone who is naturally curious, enjoys working with systems and data, and takes a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.
Working closely with colleagues across multiple sites, you will help ensure our systems, processes and operational information remain accurate, effective and aligned to business needs.
The role offers a blend of home working, site visits and stakeholder collaboration, with regular travel to operational locations across our national network. This provides a great opportunity to gain first-hand insight into our operations while building relationships across the business.
