Jr. Planner

If you are looking for a new role in a growing interesting transportation and logistics environment, Ewals Cargo Care might be looking for you.

• Imagine that an order comes in and the cargo has to be transported from Spain to Great Britain. Our advanced planning module calculates and suggests the 15 best routes based on speed and cost.
• As a Planner, you will specialize in your field, such as a specific region, country, means of transport (truck, ferry, train) or other expertise.

• Determine which proposed route is preferred and best to implement.

• Calculate and puzzle with driving hours, working hours and distances, taking into account the driving hours law.
• Giving instructions to drivers or carriers with the necessary (changed) data.
• Searching and planning return transports for our trailers.
• Inform stakeholders efficiently and collaboratively.

In short, 40% of your time is spent on planning and puzzling, 50% on communication via email, phone, Microsoft Teams and our scheduling system, and 10% on meetings and collaboration for continuous improvement.

As a Planner, we expect you to remain calm, reason logically, learn to make well-considered choices and learn to negotiate.

• Transport & Logistics degree is an added value;

• You are a strong communicator, you speak Spanish and can handle English well;
• You like dynamics, switching and puzzling;
• You like to work in a close-knit team and have a proactive attitude;
