Communicating effectively with customers regarding delivery schedules, delays, and alternative solutions
Managing vehicle movements and transport resources in response to operational challenges
Monitoring haulage performance, compliance, fleet utilisation, and empty mileage
Supporting business continuity during plant shutdowns, breakdowns, and operational disruptions
Developing strong relationships with key customers and anticipating future demand
Maintaining accurate records and completing all associated administration within agreed deadlines
Identifying opportunities to improve service, reduce costs, and enhance operational performance
We're seeking someone who can balance excellent customer service with strong logistical planning skills.
You'll ideally have:
Experience within transport, logistics, distribution, planning, or customer service environments
Strong organisational and prioritisation skills
The ability to make effective decisions in a fast-moving operational setting
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
A proactive and solutions-focused approach
Strong attention to detail and administrative accuracy
Confidence working with multiple systems and managing competing priorities
A collaborative mindset and willingness to support colleagues across the wider team
At Heidelberg Materials, you'll be joining a business that plays a critical role in building the UK's infrastructure and communities. You'll be part of a supportive team where your contribution directly impacts customer satisfaction, operational performance, and business success.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a busy logistics environment and wants to develop a rewarding career within a leading global organisation.
Ready to take ownership, solve challenges, and keep our customers supplied? Apply today and become part of the Heidelberg Materials team in Syston.
