Functieomschrijving

Voor onze opdrachtgever, een internationaal logistiek bedrijf, zijn wij op zoek naar een Junior Transport Planner. De organisatie opereert wereldwijd in de sectoren Transport, Logistiek en Supply Chain Management. Je bent werkzaam op de afdeling Transport Planning, die bestaat uit ongeveer 20 medewerkers. Met hen werk je samen voor toonaangevende vervoerders en klanten.

In deze functie heb je een coördinerende rol in een dynamische werkomgeving. Je gaat veel en snel schakelen met andere afdelingen. Focus, samenwerking en nauwkeurigheid zijn belangrijk in deze job. Je takenpakket ziet er als volgt uit:

• Het assisteren van de transportplanners;
• Het inplannen van transporten onder begeleiding van de ervaren planners;
• Het onderhouden van contacten met klanten, chauffeurs/vervoerders en interne afdelingen;
• Het administratief afhandelen van de planning.

• Je hebt een ambitieuze en leergierige instelling;
• Je hebt affiniteit met de transportbranche;
• Je hebt uitstekende communicatieve en sociale vaardigheden;
• Je kent het Office pakket, ERP en WMS (of bent bereid dit te leren);
• Je neemt graag initiatief, werkt accuraat en bent stressbestendig.

Wil jij werken bij een internationale speler in afval en recycling? REMONDIS in Mierlo zoekt een ervaren Planner Transport die structuur aanbrengt in een dynamische werkomgeving!

Wat ga je doen? Als Planner bij REMONDIS in Ermelo zorg je er samen met vijf collega’s voor dat de planning voor zo’n 55 chauffeurs vlekkeloos verloopt. De afval- en recyclingbranche is continu in beweging en dat vraagt om scherpe keuzes en snelle schakels. Jij stemt dagelijks af met de chauffeurs, verkoopafdeling, klantenservice en andere interne afdelingen.

Je maakt een efficiënte rittenplanning waarbij je rekening houdt met service, kosten en wet- en regelgeving. Ook stuur je chauffeurs aan, handel je klantverzoeken af en verwerk je ritten administratief. Je ziet knelpunten én verbeterkansen en komt zelf met verbetervoorstellen.

De sfeer in Ermelo is open en familiair. Korte lijnen, een praatje met de chauffeurs, en samenwerken aan een goede dagplanning – dát is werken bij REMONDIS. Deze functie komt vrij doordat collega Bram intern doorgroeit naar een andere vestiging.

Wat neem je mee?

• Een goede beheersing van de Nederlandse taal, zowel mondeling als schriftelijk;

• Een natuurlijk leiderschap en ervaring met operationele aansturing van teams;
• Een betrokken en stressbestendige werkhouding;
• Eigen vervoer om naar de standplaats in Ermelo te komen (max. 30 kilometer).

Wat krijg je?

• Een goed salaris conform CAO Beroepsgoederenvervoer;
• Een tijdelijk contract bij REMONDIS met uitzicht op een vast contract bij goed functioneren;
• Een individueel opleidingsbudget van €1500,- per jaar en diverse doorgroeimogelijkheden;
• 24 vakantiedagen en 3,5 ATV-dagen op basis van fulltime dienstverband;
• Vrij op nationale feestdagen en een uitstekende pensioenregeling (2/3e betaald door REMONDIS);
• Korting op aanvullende zorgverzekering en belastingvoordeel op o.a. fietsen, telefoons en fitnessabonnementen;
• Een prettige, stabiele werkomgeving in een internationaal familiebedrijf met korte lijnen.
