Logistics Planner

Logistics Planners arrange and schedule inbound and outbound freight movements for manufacturing and production companies, wholesalers, transport companies, and warehousing agencies. 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.
