🚛 Transport Planner – Upminster, Essex
£35,000 – £50,000 Base Salary + Target Bonuses | Remote Working Opportunities
Looking for your next move in transport? Want to join a business where you're trusted to get the job done — rather than being treated like a number?
We’re a successful family-owned transport business based in Upminster, Essex, and we’re looking for an experienced and driven Transport Planner to join our growing team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who knows transport, enjoys a fast-paced environment and takes pride in keeping things moving.
And because we believe good people deserve flexibility, there are opportunities to work remotely as part of the role.
🚚 The Role
As Transport Planner, you’ll be an important part of our day-to-day operation, making sure vehicles, drivers and customers are all where they need to be. You’ll be responsible for:
- Planning and coordinating daily transport operations
- Allocating work efficiently across drivers and vehicles
- Liaising with drivers throughout the day
- Managing customer requirements and keeping communication clear
- Monitoring collections and deliveries
- Reacting quickly and calmly when plans change
- Finding practical solutions to transport challenges
- Working closely with the wider team to keep operations running smoothly
- Ensuring work is planned safely, efficiently and in line with relevant regulations

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

- A confident communicator
- Calm under pressure
- A natural problem solver
- Comfortable dealing with drivers, customers and colleagues
- Proactive rather than someone who needs constant direction
- Reliable, professional and willing to get stuck in
- Experienced within transport, logistics or haulage
- Knowledge of drivers' hours, transport legislation and vehicle compliance would be an advantage.
