Transport & Production Team Leader
WE'RE HIRING: Chaos Coordinator (aka Transport & Production Scheduler)
Location: Widnes
Full-time | upto 30K + bonus
Are you the kind of person who loves a good spreadsheet, talks to tracking software like it's a friend, and thrives on organizing chaos while fending off ringing phones and panicking drivers? Perfect. We might just have your dream gig.
What You'll Be Doing (aka How You'll Earn Your Coffee):
1. Transport Planning Wizardry
o Book collections & deliveries like a boss (with customer promises in mind, obviously)
o Use your internal GPS (and software) to plan routes smarter than Google Maps
o Keep transport schedules tighter than your inbox on a Monday morning
2. Production Schedule Sorcery
o Chat with everyone from commercial to production like the workplace diplomat you are
o Create a clear plan that ensures everyone gets what they want (or close enough)
3. Transport Admin: Not Just Paperwork
o Make sure all the wheels keep turning — literally — by keeping vehicles road-ready
o Log defects, fix stuff, book maintenance, and make sure drivers aren't just winging it
o Keep tabs on straps, shrink wrap, and other mystery items drivers swear they didn't lose
o Occasionally help hire drivers who can actually reverse a trailer
4. General Office Heroics
o Answer phones like you're hosting a call-in radio show
o Handle customer queries like a seasoned negotiator with a caffeine addiction
o Learn our commercial strategy and why your scheduling skills keep it from imploding
What You Bring to the Party:
1. A few scars from the world of transport planning (experience with EU regs is a plus)
2. Spidey-sense for detail and superpowers in MS Office
3. You write like a novelist and speak like a diplomat
4. Multi-tasking? You were doing that before it was cool
5. Friendly, reliable, and can laugh even when everything's on fire (figuratively, we hope)
If you like the sound of this and can keep your cool when six drivers, two managers, and a customer all want something now — slide into our inbox. #J-18808-Ljbffr
