About the role

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Transport Coordinator to join our team at Jacksons based between Derringham Street in Hull and Jacksons Distribution Centre (JDC) based in Brough.

This is a full-time day based permanent role working an average of 38 hours per week. The working pattern for this role will predominantly be days (which includes weekend working).  There may also be night working involved on occasion and an element of the role is an evening on call rota, attracting premium payments.

Responsibilities of the role include:

• Ensure that all products are dispatched in compliance with food and health and safety legislation and delivered to our customers on time and in full.
• Give guidance and advice in the event of problems with delivery times and/or dates to appropriate Manager, customer or members of our Commercial team
• Plan and coordinate the staffing driver arrangements, this includes producing and monitoring rota sheets.
• Communicate to all drivers on a regular basis information required for them to carry out their tasks and job duties. This includes liaising with other departments.
• Ensure all drivers work within EU driving regulations, carrying out monthly reviews of driver infringements and coaches where appropriate.
• Monitor and manage housekeeping schedules for the fleet (both in-house and agency) to uphold our high standards. We therefore ask that applicants are proficient and confident in using Microsoft Excel.

About you:

With excellent excel skills you will be a great communicator with an understanding of transport compliance and law. Ideally you will be a CPC Transport Manager holder or working towards the accreditation.
