• Conducting driver pre-briefs and debriefs to support safety, compliance and operational accuracy.
• Completing transport administration, including accurate data entry and record keeping.
• Handling a high volume of telephone calls to support operational coordination and customer service.

• Good computer skills and the ability to manage administrative tasks and data accurately.

The standard shift pattern is Sunday to Thursday, 10:00pm to 6:00am.

Due to the requirements of the customer site over the Christmas period, two Fridays will also be required. To accommodate this, a day off will be provided during the week, rather than working six days.
