As part of our mission to deliver meaningful, positive change, you’ll play a key role in evolving how the world moves goods - working alongside a team of ambitious “Supply Changers” committed to innovation and impact. Ready to join a team of Supply Changes? The Role at a Glance: Senior Transport Planner Bournville, UK Full Time Competitive Salary Depending on Experience Plus Benefits & Development Opportunities Hours: 40 hours but due to the operational nature of the role, flexibility is required. Culture: International, collaborative, operationally focused with strong emphasis on continuous improvement. Projects Include: Long term contract with a leading chocolate factory in the UK for all domestic intercompany bulk traffic. Your Expertise: • Experience in Bulk transport planning, • Understanding of fleet operations, equipment and technical aspects, • Strong communication skills and commercial awareness, • Proactive, improvement driven and solution oriented mindset, • Able to operate independently while working effectively in an international team About Us: Van den Bosch is a leading European bulk transport specialist, established in 1964, with a strong reputation for delivering reliable, efficient, and high-quality logistics solutions. With a well-established presence in the Netherlands and the UK, we operate across borders to support major industrial supply chains. At Van den Bosch, we believe in moving forward. We combine deep logistical expertise with data, technology, and automation to continuously improve how we operate — creating practical, real-world impact for our customers. Our international teams collaborate closely to drive innovation, optimise performance, and evolve the way transport is delivered. Own It. Improve It. Grow It. This isn't a desk job where you wait for problems to land in your inbox - it's a senior leadership role where you take genuine ownership of a major customer operation within a fast-moving international bulk transport business. You'll be the driving force behind planning, performance, and continuous improvement across a growing UK operation, working at the intersection of strategy and hands-on delivery. You'll run the show day-to-day, coordinating with UK and Netherlands planning teams, managing fleet utilisation, overseeing driver operations, and acting as the trusted operational contact your customer relies on. When challenges arise, you're the one who resolves them. When inefficiencies emerge, you're the one who fixes them. And when there's an opportunity to make the operation sharper, smarter, or more profitable - you're the one who spots it first. From tactical planning and cost control to compliance, fleet performance, and long-term operational success, your fingerprints will be all over what this business becomes. If you're a commercially sharp transport professional who thrives under pressure, takes pride in high standards, and wants a role with real weight and real impact - this is the one. You - The Ideal Candidate You're not just a planner. You're someone who takes ownership, thinks commercially, and gets restless when things could run better. You understand the rhythm of bulk transport operations: the fleet, the drivers, the customers, the margins, and you know how to keep all of it moving in the right direction. You'll bring solid experience in transport planning, ideally in a senior or coordinating capacity, with a genuine understanding of fleet operations, equipment, and the technical side of the business. A CPC qualification is a real advantage. You communicate clearly, think on your feet, and you're just as comfortable presenting to a customer as you are sorting an operational crisis at short notice. You work well independently - but you also know how to operate as part of an international team, adapting your style and building strong relationships across borders. Based within a reasonable distance of Bournville, you're ready to be present, visible, and hands-on. The non-negotiables? You need: • Proven transport planning experience, • Fleet operations knowledge - equipment, technical realities, the lot, • Sharp communication skills and genuine commercial awareness, • A proactive, solutions-first mindset - you fix things, you don't just flag them, • The ability to operate independently within a cross-border team What’s on Offer: • Opportunity to shape and improve a key UK transport operation, • A challenging and varied role within a leading bulk transport company, • Ongoing development opportunities to grow into a bulk transport specialist, • Collaborative, international working environment, • Competitive salary and employment package based on experience Why? Van den Bosch • Dynamic and international teams, • Plenty of room for development and growth, • Leading the way together through innovation and digitisation, • Work and private life always in balance, • Named ‘World-class workplace If you’re ready to take ownership, drive operational excellence, and make a real impact within a growing international logistics business, we’d love to hear from you.
