• Ensuring appropriate storage charges are applied to delayed customer orders.
• Monitoring the yard list on a weekly basis, helping to ensure goods are delivered to customer sites as quickly as possible.
• Working closely with Transport Planning on a daily basis to ensure deliveries are completed in line with customer requirements and expectations.
• Liaising with the Aftercare team where required.
• Maintaining accurate customer, order and delivery information across internal systems.
• Providing wider administrative support to the Transport and Customer Experience teams where required.
