Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll be someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment, can stay calm when plans change, and takes pride in finding practical solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Planning and allocating daily transport routes and workloads
- Coordinating drivers, vehicles and deliveries to meet customer requirements
- Responding to changes, delays and operational issues in real time
- Ensuring plans are commercially efficient and achievable
- Communicating clearly with drivers, customers and internal operational teams
- Updating planning systems and maintaining accurate records
- Supporting compliance with transport, driver-hours and company procedures
