We’re recruiting for a Night Shift Transport Planner / Transport Clerk to join a busy logistics operation based in Redditch. As a Transport Planner, you’ll be part of a well-established distribution site, working with a mixed fleet and a team of experienced drivers to make sure customer deliveries run smoothly and efficiently through the night. The role As the Night Shift Transport Planner, you will: * Plan and allocate nightly routes and loads for a fleet of HGVs and vans. * Brief and debrief drivers at the start and end of their shifts, ensuring they have all required information and paperwork. * Monitor vehicles throughout the night, dealing with delays, route changes and customer updates as they arise. * Check and input data into the transport management system (TMS), keeping records accurate and up to date. * Help ensure compliance with WTD, drivers’ hours and tachograph regulations. * Liaise with customers and internal teams regarding delivery times, special requirements and any service issues. * Handle general transport administration – PODs, manifests, booking times, delivery notes and reports. You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment where no two nights are the same, and where a strong Transport Planner really makes a difference.
