Västvärmlands LBC AB is owned by around 50 trucking companies that together have approximately 120 vehicles at their disposal. We are a transport sales company with strong roots in western Värmland and have 25 employees at our offices in Arvika and Charlottenberg.
Our operations span three business areas: Construction & Environment, Long-distance, Wood chips, Terminal & Warehouse, and Gravel & Quarries. The group has annual revenues of approximately 700 million kronor and offers transport and logistics services to companies, public entities, and private individuals.
Our culture is characterized by long-term thinking, stability, and commitment. You'll find short decision-making paths, close collaboration, and an unpretentious, down-to-earth climate. Sustainability is an integral part of our operations, and we are certified in environment, quality, occupational health and safety, and traffic safety, as well as being sustainability certified according to Fair Transport.
About the Position
As a transport manager, you'll have a central role in daily operations. You work closely with customers, drivers, and colleagues to ensure that orders, planning, information, and follow-up are coordinated, even as circumstances change throughout the day.
Your main focus will be on Construction/Gravel, but we work as a small team and you'll also need to support operations in Sludge/Flushing and Container/Waste during, for example, vacations, sick leave, or peak periods.
You'll be part of a work team with a business area manager, team leader, and transport managers, supported by our administrative function. Together, you'll create an efficient daily operation for our customers and affiliated trucking companies.
Key responsibilities include:
• receiving customer orders, understanding their needs, and ensuring correct information from the start
• registering and handling orders in Hogia Mobilast and in customer-adapted IT systems
• planning, prioritizing, and coordinating transports and quickly adapting when circumstances change
• maintaining ongoing and professional contact with customers, drivers, and internal functions
• working with pricing, billing documentation, follow-up, and other administrative tasks
• solving practical problems and contributing to efficient work methods, good service, and profitable transports
• supporting other parts of the business area when operations need it.
The role can develop and adapt based on your experience. If you're relatively new to transport management, the initial focus will be to complement and support the regular transport managers, with the opportunity to gradually take on greater responsibility. If you have more experience, the role can include broader elements of customer development, pricing, marketing, and business-focused problem solving from the start.
The position is based in Arvika, but you'll also visit work sites and customers where you'll build relationships and understanding of the operations you work with.
