Night Shift Transport Planner / Transport Clerk
Location: Redditch
Salary: £35,000 per annum
Hours: Night shift, 22:00 - 06:30, 40 hours per week (Monday - Friday)

Are you an organised, calm-under-pressure Transport Planner who's happy working nights and enjoys keeping wheels turning and deliveries on time?

We're recruiting for a Night Shift Transport Planner / Transport Clerk to join a busy logistics operation based in Redditch. As a Transport Planner, you'll be part of a well-established distribution site, working with a mixed fleet and a team of experienced drivers to make sure customer deliveries run smoothly and efficiently through the night.

The role

As the Night Shift Transport Planner, you will:

* Plan and allocate nightly routes and loads for a fleet of HGVs and vans.

* Brief and debrief drivers at the start and end of their shifts, ensuring they have all required information and paperwork.

* Monitor vehicles throughout the night, dealing with delays, route changes and customer updates as they arise.

* Check and input data into the transport management system (TMS), keeping records accurate and up to date.

* Help ensure compliance with WTD, drivers' hours and tachograph regulations.

* Liaise with customers and internal teams regarding delivery times, special requirements and any service issues.

* Handle general transport administration - PODs, manifests, booking times, delivery notes and reports.

You'll be working in a fast-paced environment where no two nights are the same, and where a strong Transport Planner really makes a difference.

About you

To be successful in this Transport Planner role, you'll need:

* Experience working in a transport office - e.g. as a Transport Planner, Transport Administrator, Operations Clerk or similar.

* A good understanding of UK road transport, including routes, mileage and basic compliance.

* Confident communication skills - you'll be talking to drivers, customers and colleagues throughout the night.

* Strong organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple tasks at once.

* Comfortable working with IT systems (TMS / routing software / Excel).

* A proactive, problem-solving mindset - you stay calm when plans change and can think on your feet.

* Willingness and ability to work a permanent night shift (22:00 - 06:30, 40 hours per week).

Experience within a 3PL or distribution environment would be an advantage, but similar Transport Planner or transport office experience will absolutely be considered.

What's on offer

* £35,000 per annum for a 40-hour week.

* Permanent night shift Transport Planner role with genuine long-term stability.

* On-site parking and good local road links.

* Training on internal systems and processes.

* The chance to develop your career within a growing logistics operation.
