Reliable follow-through: you keep accurate records, chase outstanding actions and make sure tasks are completed. An interest in developing a longer-term career in transport and logistics planning. Useful, but not essential Experience supporting transport planners, drivers, field-service teams or time-critical deliveries. Awareness of drivers' hours, Working Time Directive requirements or fleet compliance. Experience booking accommodation and travel for a mobile workforce. What's on offer Salary of £32,000-£33,000, depending on experience. Monday-to-Friday working, 8am-6pm, with paid overtime opportunities available.
