Urban Fleet & Network Optimisation Expert Transport networks | GPS analytics | Collection-system design LOCATION NCR or any A-Tier city ENGAGEMENT Short-term | 3-4 months OPENINGS 01 This role suits a transport or logistics specialist who has designed operationally realistic routes for public services. You will work with geographic data, vehicle traces, field observations and facility locations to improve collection coverage, productivity and the reliability of waste movement. Your mandate Own evidence-based route assessment and redesign, including detailed planning in designated priority service divisions and GPS-led review of the wider operating network. What you will lead
• Reconstruct actual service routes. Convert GPS histories and available operating schedules into verified primary collection and secondary transport paths. In selected priority areas, compare each approved route with the track actually driven and the sequence observed in the field.
• Organise independent route checks. Agree field observation and trailing protocols covering at least 10% of vehicle-days per service area. Capture arrival windows, route deviations, unserved streets, load patterns, delays and whether a vehicle actually completed its assigned beat.
• Prepare detailed, executable redesigns. Develop proposed collection routes by beat, street, vehicle type, service window and destination. Build practical catchments for transfer points and treatment destinations, supported by travel distances, turnaround times and number of trips.
• Reconcile requirements with fleet reality. Check route designs against actual vehicle availability, carrying capacities, parking or loading constraints,



crew deployment and existing station operations. Identify situations in which additional vehicles or a change in collection frequency is essential.
• Locate coverage loss and wasted movement. Analyse duplicate running, backtracking, low-productivity trips, missed pick-up pockets and long transfer journeys. Use field validation rather than relying only on theoretical shortest paths.
• Review contractual service performance. Help evaluate provider obligations for route completion, GPS availability, staffing, attendance, collection windows and trip reporting. Feed observed exceptions and measurable indicators into a standard monthly provider-review format. ROLE DETAILS / CONTINUED Urban Fleet & Network Optimisation Expert Delivery, quality and collaboration
• Check the movement-to-measurement link. Compare vehicle trip histories with transfer-site arrivals, load counts and plant or weighbridge records. Where weighing is missing, document any permitted estimate clearly instead of presenting it as a measured weight.
• Support service expansion and investment. Provide technical input on fleet type, unit requirements, transfer-point locations and storage infrastructure for underserved areas. Ensure cost and capacity suggestions agree with the wider system-gap assessment.
• Build GIS-ready maps and schedules.



Maintain digital route networks, service-area coverage views, stop lists, proposed schedules and operating instructions using agreed spatial identifiers and open export formats.
• Integrate field and facility constraints. Work with waste-operations, field and GIS leads on contamination separation requirements, different waste streams, generator access conditions, secondary storage availability and practical road restrictions.
• Explain recommendations to operators. Present current-versus-proposed route results, productivity assumptions and implementation risks. Support reviews with public-sector counterparts and record agreed adjustments without changing approved plans informally. What you will help deliver
• Validated current-route library and route-observation summaries.
• Detailed primary and secondary route proposals for priority service areas, plus GPS-based wider-network views.
• Fleet-capacity, station-catchment, time-window and trip-count reconciliations.
• Map files, route schedules, efficiency indicators and change-controlled recommendations. Who should apply
• Degree in Civil Engineering, Transport Engineering or Planning.
• At least 8 years in public-service route planning, transport operations or logistics optimisation.
• Demonstrated competence in GIS-based routing and realistic fleet planning; ability to produce intensive plans for three designated service divisions.
• Transport planners, fleet improvement specialists and logistics consultants who can validate route models in the field.
