The Transport Network Planner is responsible for designing, analysing and improving transport networks to support efficient, reliable and cost-effective deliveries. The role typically requires experience in transport planning, logistics or supply chain operations, along with strong analytical skills and confidence using data, mapping or planning systems. Candidates should be comfortable assessing routes, capacity, service levels, schedules and operating costs. Good communication and stakeholder-management skills are important because the role involves working with depots, carriers, operations teams and customers. DHL is likely to expect a structured, commercially aware approach, attention to detail, problem-solving ability and the confidence to recommend improvements in a fast-moving environment.
