Transport Planner - Home Delivery

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 year 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
