They create and implement efficient transport schedules that optimise profitability and customer satisfaction without compromising driver safety or fleet compliance.

As a Logistics Planner you could be adjusting the daily metropolitan fleet pick-up and delivery schedule to incorporate a new customer, following up on a customer complaint about a missed delivery, compiling a weekly shipping report for the logistics manager, ensuring that drivers complete their paperwork correctly, or checking an invoice from a trucking company for the accounts department.

To succeed in this job role you’ll need to be highly organised and have outstanding problem-solving and negotiation skills.
