Control the Operation. Protect the Margin. Keep Everything Moving.
Location: Manchester

Type: Full-time
The Nerve Centre of JAMA Logistics
Let’s be honest about this role.
At JAMA Logistics, Transport Planning is not an admin function.
It’s not a support role.
And it’s definitely not a place to coast.
This is the control room.
The pressure point.
The difference between profit and problems.
If drivers are our road ambassadors, planners are the architects behind every successful move.
