  • Using Excel, CSV files and agreed system processes to validate data, investigate errors and support reliable imports and reporting. 
  • Building and reviewing practical route plans that balance customer requirements, available resources, operating constraints and cost. 
  • Comparing planned and actual mileage, travel time, service time and route duration to improve future plans. 
  • Working with site teams to understand how routes operate in practice and ensure system information reflects real conditions. 
  • Travelling regularly to operational sites to observe processes, validate data, support users and help embed consistent ways of working. 
  • Identifying opportunities to reduce unnecessary mileage, empty running, overtime and avoidable third-party transport use. 
  • Supporting system testing, user adoption and continuous-improvement activity with operational colleagues, IT and system providers. 
  • Producing plans within agreed legal, safety and company requirements and escalating risks through the appropriate process.
