The Role
Are you an organised, confident person who is good at keeping customers, drivers and operational teams moving in the same direction? We are recruiting for a Transport Planner / Dispatch Coordinator to join a busy construction materials operation in West London. This isn’t simply an administration position. You’ll sit at the centre of the operation, taking customer orders, planning and scheduling deliveries, coordinating with internal teams and drivers and making sure the right products get to the right place at the right time. Previous experience within ready-mix concrete, aggregates, construction materials, transport or logistics would be advantageous, but we’re also interested in people with strong transferable experience who can learn the industry. Full training on the company’s systems and processes can be provided.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Taking and processing customer orders accurately
- Planning and scheduling deliveries throughout the working day
- Uploading orders and maintaining accurate information on internal systems
- Coordinating between customers, drivers, production and internal operational teams
- Monitoring workloads and proactively responding when schedules or priorities change
- Resolving day-to-day delivery and scheduling issues
- Keeping customers informed and providing a high level of service
- Working closely with the batching and production teams to keep operations running efficiently
What We’re Looking For
- Confident communicators who are comfortable dealing with customers, drivers and operational teams
- Highly organised and capable of managing multiple priorities
- Proactive rather than waiting to be told what needs doing
- Comfortable working in a busy, time-sensitive operational environment
- Able to remain calm and make sensible decisions when plans change
- IT literate and comfortable learning new systems
Previous experience in any of the following would be particularly useful:
- Ready-Mix Concrete
- Aggregates
- Construction Materials
- Transport Planning
- Dispatch / Shipping
- Logistics
- Waste / Recycling
You do not need to have previously held the title 'Transport Planner'. If you’ve worked within a relevant operational environment and have the communication, planning and organisational skills required, we’d still like to hear from you.
Hours & Package
- £30,000 – £35,000 per annum
- Monday to Friday: 7:00am to 5:00pm
- Occasional Saturday cover, 7:00am – 2:00pm, paid at hourly rate
- Training provided if required
