Night Shift Transport Planner

Summary of Role: We have a fantastic opportunity for a Night Shift Planner/Co-ordinator to join a team based near LHR, becoming part of their experienced and growing team. The Planner will be required to be an efficient, competent, and committed member of the 24/7 Planning Team, working collaboratively with all operations to deliver the shared aim of consistently excellent service delivery for their customers.
