Job Description
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.
