Fleet Scheduler

Most transport companies look for a scheduler.

We’re looking for the person who runs the fleet.

The reality in transport is simple:

If scheduling breaks down, trucks sit still.

If trucks sit still, customers leave.

That’s why this role sits at the centre of our entire transport operation.

Drivers rely on you.

Customers rely on you.

Management relies on you.

The Role

· You will coordinate and control daily fleet movements across metropolitan and linehaul operations, ensuring freight moves efficiently, safely and on time.

· You will play a key role in strengthening our fleet planning function, providing guidance and mentoring support while maintaining control of daily operations.

· You will also oversee customer bookings and freight scheduling requests, ensuring loads are planned correctly from the moment they enter the system.

Your decisions will directly impact:

· Delivery performance

· Driver productivity

· Customer satisfaction

· Operational efficiency

This role suits someone who enjoys taking ownership of the fleet and making things run properly.

Key Responsibilities

· Plan and coordinate daily fleet schedules across metro and linehaul operations

· Process and manage customer bookings and freight scheduling requests

· Provide mentoring and operational guidance to strengthen the scheduling team

· Maintain constant communication with drivers throughout the day

· Manage unexpected operational changes and delays

· Ensure scheduling complies with NHVR fatigue management and Chain of Responsibility requirements

· Liaise with customers and warehouse teams to keep freight moving efficiently

· Monitor fleet utilisation and delivery performance

What We’re Looking For

You will likely have:

· Experience in fleet scheduling or logistics coordination

· Strong understanding of NHVR fatigue management and Chain of Responsibility

· Confidence managing customer bookings and operational planning

· Ability to support and mentor others within a transport operations team

· Strong organisational and problem-solving skills

· Clear communication with drivers, customers and management

Experience with refrigerated transport or FMCG distribution will be highly regarded.

If that sounds like the role you already play, you’ll understand why this opportunity is different.

We’re looking for the person who keeps the wheels turning and raises the standard of the team around them.
