  • Experience managing supplier relationships and meeting contract requirements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Haulage procurement & cost negotiation - ensuring efficiency and sustainability.
  • Coordinating incoming & outgoing transport - optimising routes and loads.
  • Ensuring regulatory compliance - managing supplier adherence to insurance and industry standards.
  • Monitoring financial records - tracking invoices and outstanding payments.
  • Identifying process improvements - implementing innovative and sustainable solutions.
