Key Responsibilities
- Schedule and coordinate daily inbound and outbound shipments, liaising directly with carriers, drivers, and warehouse teams to ensure timely collections and deliveries across Dundee and beyond.

- Prepare and check essential shipping documentation, including customs paperwork for international freight, bills of lading, and delivery notes, ensuring full compliance with regulations.
- Analyse transport costs and performance metrics, suggesting improvements to routing and carrier selection to enhance efficiency and reduce operational expenses for the business.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a logistics, transport planning, or warehouse coordination role, with a solid understanding of supply chain principles and domestic freight operations.
- Strong IT proficiency, particularly with Microsoft Excel for data analysis, and experience with industry-specific software for tracking and management.
- Outstanding organisational and communication skills, with the ability to prioritise a demanding workload and remain calm under pressure in a deadline-driven environment.
- A problem-solving mindset and keen attention to detail, ensuring that every consignment is tracked and every document is correct to prevent costly errors.
