Are you an organised, proactive planner with a passion for logistics? We're looking for a Transport & Logistics Coordinator to take the lead in scheduling deliveries, optimising fleet performance, and ensuring our customers receive their products on time, every time.

This is a hands‑on, fast‑paced role where no two days are the same — perfect for someone who thrives on coordination, communication, and problem‑solving.

What You'll Be Doing

Fleet & Delivery Coordination

• Plan and schedule daily and weekly deliveries for a fleet of bulk tankers across the UK.
• Liaise with external haulage partners to cover additional transport needs.
• Ensure all deliveries are completed efficiently, safely, and on time.
• Monitor fleet performance and driver hours to maintain compliance and productivity.

Customer & Internal Communication

• Communicate proactively with customers about delivery times, order updates, and any potential delays.
• Work closely with Production, Packaging, and Warehouse teams to align delivery schedules with manufacturing output.
• Support the invoicing process and resolve any order or billing queries promptly and professionally.

Planning & Documentation

• Prepare and maintain export documentation including Commercial Invoices, CMRs, and Dangerous Goods Notes (DGNs).
• Keep accurate records using SAGE200 and the internal filing system to ensure full traceability and compliance.
• Confirm loaded and delivered weights daily, ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate.
• Verify that Pre‑Delivery Inspections (PDIs) are completed before dispatch.

Optimisation & Improvement

• Analyse customer order trends and telemetry data to forecast and plan deliveries proactively.
• Identify opportunities to reduce transport costs and improve operational efficiency.
• Monitor delivery performance and contribute ideas for continuous improvement.

Teamwork & Compliance

• Collaborate with drivers, allocating routes and start times while addressing issues quickly and professionally.
• Follow all Health & Safety, environmental, and compliance procedures.
• Support colleagues with goods‑in processes and wider logistics tasks as needed.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in transport planning, logistics coordination, or fleet management.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• Confident using logistics or ERP systems (experience with SAGE200 is a plus).
• A proactive mindset with a focus on efficiency and customer service.
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Be at the centre of operations — connecting production, customers, and logistics every day.
• Join a friendly, supportive team that values collaboration and continuous improvement.
• Enjoy a varied role with real responsibility and the chance to make an impact.
