Description
Transport Coordinator
Ready to keep goods moving efficiently across the Benelux? Do you enjoy solving operational challenges and connecting people, partners and processes? Join Essity and help us continuously improve our transport and warehousing operations.
About the Role
As a Transport Coordinator, you coordinate the day-to-day movement of goods between loading and unloading locations across the Benelux. You are a key point of contact for Essity’s business teams, transport hubs, carriers and warehouses, helping ensure that transport operations run smoothly and issues are resolved effectively.
Alongside transport coordination, you will support warehouse activities at two external warehouse locations in Belgium. This gives you the opportunity to work across transport and warehousing while collaborating with an international network of internal and external partners.
What You Will Do
- Transport Coordination: Coordinate purchased transport from loading through to delivery locations across the Benelux.
- Operational Support: Act as the first point of escalation for transport issues and support the resolution of day-to-day operational and IT-related challenges.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Maintain close contact with Essity business teams, transport hubs, carriers, warehouses, Customer Service and Supply Service.
- Issue Management: Manage non-conformities involving processes, systems, carriers and master data, and help resolve issues identified during the planning process.
- Performance Monitoring: Monitor relevant transport, distribution and warehouse KPIs, including service levels and inventory accuracy.
- Warehouse Coordination: Coordinate daily activities with external third-party logistics providers at two warehouse locations in Belgium.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities, propose improvements and contribute to the development of transport planning and warehousing processes.
Who You Are

- You have experience in a transport, logistics or supply chain environment. Experience working with carriers, logistics companies or third-party logistics providers is an advantage.

- You are proactive, well-organized and comfortable coordinating multiple priorities. You communicate clearly and build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
- You are fluent in English, as the role involves international collaboration. French is a strong advantage when working with the warehouse operations in Belgium.
