SIG Insulation & Dry lining
At SIG Insulation & Dry lining, we are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of specialist building materials, focused on interiors, insulation, and construction solutions. With decades of expertise, a vast branch network, and a commitment to outstanding customer service, we’re more than a distributor — we’re a trusted partner helping our customers deliver successful projects, every time.
We are currently looking to recruit a Transport Planner who will be responsible for managing the planning and delivery of orders to our customers through ensuring efficient usage and coordination of all the fleet assets.
What does the role involve?
As Transport Planner Administrator you will possess strong communication skills as you will be the main liaison point between fleet operations, Drivers, the warehouse team, and sales. You will plan and oversee all matters related to the Drivers, including route planning and scheduling, supporting, and debriefing them to achieve an outstanding service to customers, using the Transport Planning Tool. This role could suit an experienced HGV driver, however if you are an excellent learner, detail conscious and retain information well, a less experienced candidate may be considered as training will be given.
