Transport Planner

Delivering on our promises

Transport Planning is a daily puzzle involving numerous moving parts and any number of starting points and destinations. Your job is to solve the puzzle so that our customers enjoy efficient and cost-effective transportation. It’s a multi-tasking and multi-facing role in which you interact with a wide range of contacts, both internal and external. Above all, it calls on you to live up to our slogan 'Together We Make Things Happen.'

Within this dynamic and future-focused environment, your main tasks include:

• Planning optimal routes via our sophisticated transport management systems. 
• Monitoring daily transports, ensuring On Time Performance and intervening when necessary.
• Ensuring that our assets (trucks, rail, barges) are optimally utilized.
• Cooperating closely with international hauliers.
• Ensuring that correct documentation and cost allocation is in place for each job.
• Controlling transport costs by making appropriate and cost-efficient decisions.

It’s just a great place to be!

Our small office in Bydgoszcz embodies an informal spirit within a large and international structure. Samskip wants you to grow and succeed, so we offer extensive development opportunities including meaningful training and e-learning in our Samskip Academy.

Samskip also offers:

• Competitive salary in line with your experience;

Are you the problem solver and communicator we’re looking for?

You also have a commercial focus and an instinctive understanding of customer needs. As such, you do all you can to ensure the delivery of our customers' goods in line with the agreements we’ve made. Sometimes, however, weather conditions or traffic jams throw a spanner in the works. And that’s where you step in, with a solution-oriented approach and an ability to keep communicating with all parties. You simply won’t let anything get in the way of that transportation promise! Further specific job requirements are:

• Preferably you have 2+ years of experience as a Transport or Logistics planner at a logistics company.
