Join a collaborative, fast-paced supply chain team
Are you a detail-oriented administrator with a knack for logistics and a passion for customer service? We're looking for a Transport Administrator to join our dynamic supply chain team within a leading FMCG business.
About the Role
This is a pivotal role focused on the administrative side of transport operations. While our transport is handled by a third-party logistics partner, you'll act as the vital link between internal teams, hauliers, and customers-ensuring smooth, cost-effective deliveries every day.
Responsibilities:
* Process daily customer orders and compile the transport diary
* Coordinate and communicate delivery schedules to hauliers
* Plan loads and optimises routing
* Track daily transport costs, fuel usage, and report discrepancies
* Update SAP systems with transport and cost data
* Ensure we're getting value for money-no unexpected costs or overcharges
Customer Interaction
Around 40% of your role will support our Customer Service team, helping to:
* Liaise with customers on order delays, shortages, and delivery issues
* Resolve invoice queries and manage PO processing
* Use customer portals to track, update, and respond efficiently
Requirements:
* Previous experience in a logistics, transport or supply chain admin role
* Good understanding of transport cost management
* Strong IT skills - Excel, Outlook, and ideally SAP
* Experience dealing with customers, hauliers, or major retailers
* Highly organised, proactive, and comfortable juggling priorities
The Team & Culture
* Open-plan office environment with Customer Service and Transport colleagues
* Close collaboration with Planning and Materials teams
* You'll work independently, but with plenty of support from a friendly and experienced team
We offer great progression opportunities across the supply chain - including roles in materials handling, production planning, and beyond.
