Network Control Administrator

Job Introduction

[Employer hidden] are the UK’s leading provider of two-person home delivery who strive to make the world of delivery a better place, by building a business that supports the way we live today. Most of our work is taking responsibility for storing and delivering large, heavy, bulky items – the kind of work that typically needs two people to handle. Quite often these items need installing, which we do too.

Here at [Employer hidden] we run our trunking fleet to collect stock from clients and deliver returns, while maintaining the correct balance of trailers across the network (ensuring everything is in the right place, at the right time).

We are now recruiting for a Network Control Administrator to join our busy team in Worcester, working with closely with our warehouse and planning teams to manage the daily trailer collection schedules and control vehicle movements onsite.
