Transport Coordinator

From our distribution centres to our transport operations and support functions, we connect people, technology and expertise to ensure the right products reach the right stores at the right time.

As we continue to invest in our people, technology and network, there's never been a more exciting time to join Gist and help shape the future of food logistics.

Are you organised, confident with people and comfortable keeping things moving in a fast-paced operation?

We’re looking for a Transport Coordinator to join our Milton Keynes team, playing a key role in the day-to-day delivery of our transport operation.

Sitting at the heart of the transport office, you'll be one of the main points of contact for our drivers throughout their shift. From briefing and debriefing drivers and monitoring routes to responding to live issues and completing essential administration, you'll help make sure the operation runs safely, efficiently and on time.

You won't have direct line management responsibility, but you'll work closely with a driver population of approximately 25 colleagues on a typical day, so we're looking for someone who is confident communicating with people, comfortable having clear conversations and able to build strong working relationships.

Previous transport experience would be beneficial, but isn't essential. If you've worked within a fast-paced operational environment and can demonstrate strong organisation, communication and problem-solving skills, we'd like to hear from you.

As a Transport Coordinator, you'll work closely with the Transport Shift Manager and wider operation to keep everything running smoothly throughout the day.

You'll:

Brief and debrief drivers, acting as a key point of contact throughout their shift.

Build positive working relationships with drivers, providing clear information and responding confidently to questions or issues.
