About The Team
This is a strong opportunity to join a fast‑moving, customer‑centric business where transport planning directly impacts the end customer experience. We are looking for a Transport Planner with a clear bias toward B2C home delivery, final‑mile efficiency, and hands‑on optimisation of multi‑drop routes. While the role spans end‑to‑end transport planning, the primary focus is on home delivery planning: improving drop density, driving route efficiency, challenging system‑generated plans, and reducing cost per delivery while protecting service. You will play a key role in closing capability gaps by actively refining plans rather than accepting tool outputs at face value. You will work closely with courier partners, haulage providers, and internal logistics teams to deliver high‑quality, executable plans that support reliable, on‑time delivery to customers.
What You Will Be Doing
- Building and executing daily multi‑drop van delivery plans for B2C home delivery.
- Actively reviewing and refining computer‑generated routes to improve drop density, driving time, and overall efficiency.
- Identifying and implementing route‑level tweaks to reduce cost per delivery while maintaining customer service.
- Working closely with courier and DSP partners to improve on‑road execution and performance.
- Reviewing base schedules and delivery patterns to unlock continuous improvement opportunities.
- Building and executing weekly outbound linehaul plans to support final‑mile delivery.
- Planning regional distribution sequences to ensure on‑time arrival at final‑mile depots.
- Working with 3PL partners to meet connections and improve performance through smarter scheduling.
- Building inbound stock plans aligned to outbound and home delivery requirements.
- Managing pallet counts across production sites.
- Working closely with Supply Chain and Production to maintain a smooth and reliable despatch schedule.
- Visiting distribution sites regularly to ensure plans translate into safe, efficient execution.
Who You Are
- At least 2 years of experience in transport planning with B2C or home delivery exposure.
- A demonstrable track record of improving route efficiency, increasing vehicle fill, and reducing cost.
- Strong understanding of UK road haulage and relevant regulatory requirements.
- Hands‑on experience using transport planning tools, with confidence to challenge and improve system‑generated plans.
- Experience working with drivers, couriers, and hauliers (3PLs).
- Strong communication skills, able to work with stakeholders across operations, planning, and production.
What You Will Get In Return
- 70% off HelloFresh or Green Chef boxes.
- Company pension scheme.
- Gym membership.
- Bupa private medical insurance (including dental & family cover options).
- Mental health first aiders and an employee assistance programme.
- Nursery support scheme.
- Cycle to work scheme.
- Group life assurance.
