Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My day to day role includes chasing carriers to book in their loading/ delivery slots, chasing them if they have not arrived at their booking time. I also inform warehouses of any delays that the carrier has informed me on. Also answer emails and find solutions for carriers when there is no more slots available.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am enjoying the programme as I get to switch roles every year, so i really get an understanding of the different areas within supply chain at Nestle.
