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.
