About The Team

As a Middle Mile Planner, you will manage the truck network that moves parcels from our major Sorting Centers (SOC) to Regional Centers (RC) and delivery hubs across the Philippines. Your main goal is to make sure we have enough trucks ready to handle daily parcel volumes, keep our delivery times fast, and keep transport costs low.

Job Description

• Truck Capacity Planning: Create daily and weekly plans to forecast how many trucks we need based on incoming Shopee parcel volumes.
• Schedule Coordination (Ops Clock): Work with warehouse teams to line up truck departure times with their sorting schedules, ensuring parcels don't sit idle.
• Vendor Management: Follow up with third-party trucking companies (3PLs) to ensure they send the number of trucks they promised and arrive on time.
• Load Optimization: Monitor truck space (cube utilization) so we aren't paying for half-empty trucks, and map out backloads to avoid empty return trips.
• Peak Season Preparation: Plan out extra truck supply and backup routes ahead of major e-commerce sales (like 9.9, 11.11, and 12.12).
• Performance Tracking: Build and update tracking sheets to report on costs, late departures, and truck utilization to management.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Logistics, or a related field.
• At least 2 years of experience in truck routing, fleet operations, or logistics planning (e-commerce or express courier experience is a big plus).
• You must be highly proficient in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets (vlookups, index/match, pivot tables) to handle daily data. Experience with SQL or Tableau is a plus.
• Good communication skills to deal with stakeholders, and the ability to solve problems quickly
