Job Description & How to Apply Below
In this vital manufacturing & logistics operational role, you will be responsible for setting up the entire next day's city pickup and delivery (P&D) operations, orchestrating drivers, equipment, and dock teams to guarantee peak operational efficiency.
Working an afternoon shift (11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday), the City Planner serves as the central operational bridge between afternoon dock operations and next-day delivery execution. In this role within our specialized manufacturing & logistics division, you will monitor inbound freight, coordinate tractor and 5-ton fleet capacities, assign routes, and schedule dock labour. Your command of Transportation Management Systems (TMS)—specifically Truck Mate—and your deep understanding of Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) city planning will ensure our client's terminal runs smoothly, on time, and with zero service interruptions.
Because this role is based in British Columbia, the primary language of daily business operations, software interfaces, carrier communications, and internal documentation is English. Bilingual proficiency is always a strong asset across our national client network, but it is not a mandatory requirement for this specific Vancouver terminal opportunity.
Advantages
• Competitive hourly pay rate tailored to your industry expertise and LTL planning background.
• Stable, predictable afternoon schedule:
Monday to Friday, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM (no overnight shift rotation).
• Fast-track onboarding with an immediate start date for a key 4–6 month contract assignment.
• Opportunity to work with a reputable supply chain and freight leader in a modern terminal environment.
• Dedicated support from Randstad’s specialized manufacturing & logistics recruitment team throughout your assignment.
• Weekly direct-deposit pay structure with comprehensive holiday and vacation pay accruals.
Responsibilities
• Plan next-day city pickup and delivery (P&D) routes, appointment deliveries, driver start times, and equipment requirements using internal mapping tools and TMS platforms.
• Coordinate capacity across company 5-ton trucks, tractors, regional drivers, and overflow contracted carriers to handle scheduled appointments and high-volume freight pickups.
• Monitor all inbound trailers and interline tag updates, obtain real-time ETAs from carrier partners, and update tracking records in Truck Mate accurately.
• Plan and adjust dock labour schedules based on inbound freight manifests, volumes, appointment requirements, and in-bond considerations.
• Prepare and distribute critical daily planning documentation, including the next-day appointment sheet, high-service-level (HSL) reports, 5-ton schedules, and tractor/dock labour plans.
• Review, organize, and verify paperwork, bills of lading (BOLs), inbound manifests, and customs bond-cleared freight for smooth morning and graveyard shift handoffs.
• Coordinate specialized delivery accounts, including overnight scheduled freight, dedicated retail accounts, and time-sensitive consignee windows.
• Liaise closely with dispatchers and dock supervisors to proactively identify service concerns, bottlenecks, and ensure the following day’s city plan is fully executable.
• Maintain accurate interline tag records, daily planning archives, and ensure all printed plans and manifests are ready for graveyard…
