We are recruiting for a growing logistics business looking to add another experienced planner to their operations team. This isn’t a role where you’ll just sit updating spreadsheets all day; you’ll be right at the centre of the operation, making decisions, solving problems, and keeping drivers and customers happy in a fast-moving environment.

- Understand container haulage and UK port operations
- Be confident making decisions in a fast-paced environment
- Communicate well with both drivers and customers
- Enjoy working as part of a close-knit operations team
- Be organised, adaptable, and able to juggle multiple priorities
Experience with TOPS or similar planning systems would be useful, but industry knowledge and the right attitude are just as important.
Why apply:
- Stable, permanent opportunity with a well-established business
- Supportive team environment
- Competitive salary package
- Increasing holiday allowance with service
- Birthday off after probation
- Pension and life assurance
