Description

What’s the role?

• You’ll be the brains behind our distribution network, ensuring our customers receive their deliveries on time and in full, while keeping our costs as low as possible.
• You’ll work alongside our team to create flawless route plans, solve real-time delivery challenges, and make sure everything runs smoother than a freshly tarmacked road.

What you’ll be doing:

On-Time Deliveries:

• Use a Transport Management Tool (TMS) like a pro to create cost-effective delivery plans that meet customer SLAs (Service Level Agreements, a.k.a. the golden rules of logistics).
• Check in with our Warehouse & Logistics Managers daily to review and adjust those routes. Who needs dull meetings when you can have a strategic routing session?
• Master the art of scheduling, ensuring long-haul routes get loaded first and the shorter ones last—just like a perfectly organised wardrobe (except, it’s trucks, not clothes).
• Be the hero when trucks break down—re-allocate, reprioritise, and communicate like a well-oiled machine.
• Communication is key – sharing Delivery Schedules with stakeholders and responding to queries. Overtime? You’ll make sure it’s covered and let the Warehouse & Logistics Manager know when things go a little extra.

Distribution Planning:

• Review those brilliant reports on truck utilisation (actual vs planned, tonnage, stops, etc.) and fine-tune the plans to maintain low costs and high efficiency. Efficiency is your middle name.
• Identify those underutilised routes and vehicles and work your magic to get them firing on all cylinders.
• Collaborate with the Distribution Manager to recommend fleet requirements and ensure our delivery needs are met without breaking the bank.
• Non-deliveries? No problem. Investigate, solve, and get things back on track—stat! You’ll also keep an eye on customer returns. No one likes a return slip-up.
• Always thinking ahead, you’ll find new opportunities to optimise our processes and save on costs. Innovation is your second nature.

Admin Tasks:

• Keep customer data up to date in the ERP and TMS systems.
• Report on your performance and keep everyone informed about your adherence to KPIs.

Why Montego?

• We’re Africa’s leading pet nutrition brand, rapidly expanding into international markets. Join a team that values innovation, collaboration, and market leadership in the pet care industry. 

Requirements

What we’re looking for:

• A Diploma in Supply Chain Management (NQF Level 6) or a similar qualification
• A valid driver’s licence (because, why not?)
• At least 3 years of experience in distribution or route planning, preferably in the FMCG environment
• Someone with a strong knowledge of geographical areas and routes. You’ll know the fastest route to anywhere—literally
• Someone with a solid understanding of vehicle capacity, fleet analysis, and maintenance schedules. You might even be able to name the best vehicle brands in your sleep
• And, of course, a love for logistics and problem-solving (with a bit of humour on the side)
