The Role
Are you an organised, confident person who is good at keeping customers, drivers and operational teams moving in the same direction?
We are recruiting for a Transport Planner / Dispatch Coordinator to join a busy construction materials operation in West London.
This isn't simply an administration position.
You'll sit at the centre of the operation, taking customer orders, planning and scheduling deliveries, coordinating with internal teams and drivers and making sure the right products get to the right place at the right time.
Previous experience within ready-mix concrete, aggregates, construction materials, transport or logistics would be advantageous, but we're also interested in people with strong transferable experience who can learn the industry.
Full training on the company's systems and processes can be provided.

Planning and scheduling deliveries throughout the working day
Uploading orders and maintaining accurate information on internal systems

Helping ensure vehicles and deliveries are utilised efficiently
Communicating confidently with drivers and customers
Resolving day-to-day delivery and scheduling issues
Keeping customers informed and providing a high level of service
Working closely with the batching and production teams to keep operations running efficiently
What We're Looking For
We're particularly interested in candidates who are:
Confident communicators who are comfortable dealing with customers, drivers and operational teams
Highly organised and capable of managing multiple priorities
Proactive rather than waiting to be told what needs doing
Comfortable working in a busy, time-sensitive operational environment
Able to remain calm and make sensible decisions when plans change
IT literate and comfortable learning new systems
Reliable and able to take ownership of their workload
Previous experience in any of the following would be particularly useful:

You do not need to have previously held the title "Transport Planner".
If you've worked within a relevant operational environment and have the communication, planning and organisational skills required, we'd still like to hear from you.
