- Prepare, process and maintain accurate transport documentation.
- Manage proof of delivery paperwork and transport records.
- Monitor vehicle movements and communicate updates where required.
- Respond to operational changes and support the resolution of transport-related issues.
- Provide administrative support to the wider transport team.
- Ensure all transport activities are completed in accordance with company procedures and compliance requirements.
Essential Criteria:
- Previous experience within a Transport Planner or Coordinator role
- Strong organisational and time management skills.
- Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
- Effective communication skills and the ability to build professional working relationships.
