Salary: c£35,000 per annum

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Night Transport Planner/ Supervisor to join a well-established logistics operation based in Lichfield. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a long-term role within a stable and growing business where reliability, responsibility, and operational ownership are highly valued.

Although the operation is relatively small in scale, the role itself is fast-paced, varied, and hands-on, offering plenty of responsibility and involvement across the night transport function. The business is looking for someone who wants longevity in a role and can become a key part of the operation over time.

The Role

You will take responsibility for the smooth and efficient running of the night transport operation, overseeing driver coordination, route planning, and operational performance throughout the shift. Working closely with drivers and other depots, you will manage trunk movements, monitor vehicle activity, and ensure all deliveries and collections are completed safely, efficiently, and on time.

The role involves planning routes for approximately 15 vehicles each evening, including vans, rigids, and articulated vehicles, while supervising around a small team of trunking drivers.
