Transport Planner

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.
