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):
Transport Planning Wizardry
Book collections & deliveries like a boss (with customer promises in mind, obviously)
Use your internal GPS (and software) to plan routes smarter than Google Maps
Keep transport schedules tighter than your inbox on a Monday morning
Production Schedule Sorcery
Chat with everyone from commercial to production like the workplace diplomat you are
Create a clear plan that ensures everyone gets what they want (or close enough)
Transport Admin: Not Just Paperwork
Make sure all the wheels keep turning — literally — by keeping vehicles road-ready
Log defects, fix stuff, book maintenance, and make sure drivers aren’t just winging it
Keep tabs on straps, shrink wrap, and other mystery items drivers swear they didn’t lose
Occasionally help hire drivers who can actually reverse a trailer
General Office Heroics
Answer phones like you're hosting a call-in radio show
Handle customer queries like a seasoned negotiator with a caffeine addiction
Learn our commercial strategy and why your scheduling skills keep it from imploding
What You Bring to the Party:
A few scars from the world of transport planning (experience with EU regs is a plus)
Spidey-sense for detail and superpowers in MS Office
You write like a novelist and speak like a diplomat
Multi-tasking? You were doing that before it was cool
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
