We are looking for a Transportation Administrator to support the efficient coordination of daily transport operations, documentation, scheduling, and communication across our logistics activities. This role is essential to keeping transportation services organized, compliant, and responsive to business needs. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with drivers, vendors, internal departments, and customers to ensure that shipments, routes, and transport records are managed accurately and on time.
As a Transportation Administrator, you will maintain transportation schedules, update dispatch and delivery records, track vehicle usage, and help ensure compliance with company procedures and transportation regulations. You will serve as a central point of administrative support for transport teams, helping to resolve scheduling issues, process transport-related paperwork, and monitor key operational data. The position requires strong communication skills, the ability to prioritize multiple tasks, and confidence using spreadsheets, transport management systems, and general office software.
In this role, you may assist with route planning, driver documentation, fuel and mileage reporting, invoice verification, and coordination with maintenance or warehouse teams. You will also help prepare reports on transportation performance, delivery timelines, and service issues, enabling managers to make informed operational decisions. A successful candidate understands the importance of accuracy, timeliness, and service quality in transportation environments.
The Transportation Administrator should be proactive in identifying inefficiencies, following up on missing information, and supporting continuous improvement in transport processes. You will often work in a fast-paced setting where priorities can shift quickly, so adaptability and sound judgment are important. Experience in logistics, fleet administration, dispatch support, or transport coordination is highly valued.
This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a critical business function by ensuring transport operations run smoothly behind the scenes. If you enjoy administrative work with a strong operational focus, have a problem-solving mindset, and can manage detailed records while supporting multiple stakeholders, this role can provide a rewarding career path in transportation and logistics administration.
