• Support the Logistic Coordinator with tracking order patterns and highlighting any variances.
• Understand and support the process in utilising routing and scheduling software to optimise efficiency for the Oleon fleet, to ensure routes are maximised and costs are minimised.
• Be effective in interdepartmental communications, e.g., with Commercial, Operations, and Production divisions to support departmental KPIs.
• Be involved in the process to ensure import clearance for bulk tanker collections from mainland Europe.
• Support the Logistics Coordinator in providing data for weekly/monthly KPI reports.
