Description
We’re on the hunt for a Route Planning Lead to captain our distribution strategy, optimise routes, and keep our deliveries running smoother than a freshly tarred freeway.
Youll lead a team of logistical legends, juggle data like a circus pro,and keep our fleet flying on the fast lane to efficiency.
What You’ll Be Steering:
Distribution Planning
Crunch the numbers and course-correct: monitor and improve delivery performance daily, weekly, and monthly.
Spot underutilised vehicles from a mile away and reroute like a GPS on a mission.
Work across departments like a traffic cop at peak hour—keeping everyone moving smoothly.
Recommend fleet tweaks to keep costs down and deliveries full.
Hunt down the root causes of non-deliveries like a logistics detective.
On-Time Deliveries
Lead the Route Planning Team with confidence and clarity (and maybe a bit of caffeine).
Master our Transport Management System like it’s second nature.
Replan, reallocate, reprioritise – especially when life throws in a flat tyre or two.
Keep communication flowing – from the warehouse floor to the top floor.
Admin That Packs a Punch
Keep customer master data polished and powerful.
Report on performance like a pro.
Ensure planning isn’t just timely—it’s strategic and scalable.
