Network Transport Planner

Due to continued growth, we are looking for a Network Transport Planner to help shape smarter, practical transport plans across our operational network. Using Solera Omnitracs Roadnet and other digital tools, you will maintain reliable planning data, build and test routes, and turn information into improvements for customers, drivers and site teams.

 

You do not need to be a transport expert from day one. We are looking for someone who understands systems and technology, enjoys solving problems and is motivated to learn.

 

This role will involve travel across our National Operational sites. 

Learning and using Solera Omnitracs Roadnet to support daily, weekly and forward transport planning. 

Maintaining accurate customer, location, driver, vehicle and route data, including geocodes, service times, service windows and vehicle capacities. 

Using Excel, CSV files and agreed system processes to validate data, investigate errors and support reliable imports and reporting. 

Building and reviewing practical route plans that balance customer requirements, available resources, operating constraints and cost. 

Comparing planned and actual mileage, travel time, service time and route duration to improve future plans. 

Working with site teams to understand how routes operate in practice and ensure system information reflects real conditions. 

Travelling regularly to operational sites to observe processes, validate data, support users and help embed consistent ways of working. 

Identifying opportunities to reduce unnecessary mileage, empty running, overtime and avoidable third-party transport use. 

Supporting system testing, user adoption and continuous-improvement activity with operational colleagues, IT and system providers. 

Producing plans within agreed legal, safety and company requirements and escalating risks through the appropriate process.
