Job Description

About The Team

This is a strong opportunity to join a fast-moving, customer-centric business where transport planning directly impacts the end customer experience. We are looking for a Transport Planner with a clear bias toward B2C home delivery, final mile efficiency, and hands-on optimisation of multi-drop routes.While the role spans end-to-end transport planning, the primary focus is on home delivery planning: improving drop density, driving route efficiency, challenging system-generated plans, and reducing cost per delivery while protecting service. You will play a key role in closing capability gaps by actively refining plans rather than accepting tool outputs at face value. You will work closely with courier partners, haulage providers, and internal logistics teams to deliver high-quality, executable plans that support reliable, on-time delivery to customers.

Building and executing daily multi-drop van delivery plans for B2C home delivery

Actively reviewing and refining computer-generated routes to improve drop density, driving time, and overall efficiency

Identifying and implementing route-level tweaks to reduce cost per delivery while maintaining customer service

Working closely with courier and DSP partners to improve on-road execution and performance

Reviewing base schedules and delivery patterns to unlock continuous improvement opportunities

Building and executing weekly outbound linehaul plans to support final mile delivery

Planning regional distribution sequences to ensure on-time arrival at final mile depots

Working with 3PL partners to meet connections and improve performance through smarter scheduling

Building inbound stock plans aligned to outbound and home delivery requirements

Managing pallet counts across production sites

Working closely with Supply Chain and Production to maintain a smooth and reliable despatch schedule

Visiting distribution sites regularly to ensure plans translate into safe, efficient exe
