Croydon, London | Full-Time, Permanent | From £35,000 (DOE)
We're looking for an experienced Transport Planner to join a fast-paced operation where compliance, structure, and professionalism aren't buzzwords, they're how we actually work. This isn't a "bums on seats" planning role; it's a chance to bring genuine control and calm to a busy operation.
You'll work closely with senior management, drivers, customers, and our compliance team to keep things running efficiently, legally, and smoothly, even when the pressure is on. If you think ahead instead of constantly firefighting, and take real pride in running a tight operation, we'd like to talk to you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Planning and coordinating daily vehicle movements
- Managing driver schedules and route allocation
- Keeping communication sharp with drivers and customers throughout the day
- Monitoring vehicle availability against operational needs
- Supporting compliance with Drivers' Hours, Working Time, and Operator Licence requirements
- Handling operational issues calmly and decisively, without losing control of the day
- Liaising with the workshop/compliance team on defects, maintenance, and vehicle availability
- Planning work that's both commercially efficient and fully compliant
- Helping shape and improve our operational systems and processes over time
