Are you ready to take your first or next step in logistics? Do you enjoy problem-solving, coordinating, and keeping a clear overview in a fast-paced international environment?

Then this could be the role for you!

In order to strengthen our operations in the Italian market, we are looking for an enthusiastic Truck Planner – Multimodal Logistics to join the Operations team of CLdN Cargo in Milan.

 CLDN Cargo Agencies Italy S.r.l. is the Italian operational arm of CLdN Cargo, one of Europe’s leading multimodal logistics groups. Based in Milan, our team manages the full spectrum of multimodal transport services for CLdN Cargo’s Italian operations — combining road, rail and short-sea shipping to deliver efficient, sustainable door-to-door solutions for our clients.  We are a dynamic, international team in a phase of significant growth, and we are looking for people who want to grow with us.

Within this challenging position, you will be the backbone of our daily multimodal transport planning, ensuring that our truck operations across Italy and beyond run smoothly, efficiently and on time. No two days are the same — and your decisiveness and proactive mindset will make a real difference.

·         Plan daily truck movements across the Italy multimodal network, selecting optimal routes and carrier combinations using our TMS system.

·         Monitor live operations throughout the day: track shipments, anticipate issues and intervene swiftly when plans change.

·         Coordinate with Customer Service colleagues to provide timely updates whenever shipment details change or delays arise.

·         Prepare the next day’s planning, taking into account loading and unloading windows, driver hours regulations (EU Reg. 561/2006) and customer-specific instructions.

·         Manage and assign available equipment (trailers, swap bodies, containers) across collection and delivery runs.

·         Liaise with carriers, drivers and depot teams to ensure seamless execution of the daily plan.

·         Contribute to continuous improvement of planning processes and tools.

Your profile

·         Minimum secondary school diploma (equivalent to MBO level 4 or higher); a degree in Logistics, Supply Chain or a related field is a plus.

·         2 years of experience in transport planning, logistics operations or a related role is preferred — though strong motivation and a genuine interest in the sector count just as much.

·         Good understanding of multimodal transport (road, rail, short-sea) is an advantage.

·         Proficiency in English (written and spoken); Italian is required;

·         Hands-on, solution-oriented mindset: you take ownership and follow through.

·         Accurate and organised: you keep a clear head even when things get busy.

·         Strong communicator: you interact confidently with planners, drivers, carriers and internal stakeholders.

·         Comfortable working with transport management systems (TMS) and standard office tools.

 Our offer

·         A collaborative, international team environment with a strong operational culture.

·         Real responsibility from day one, with room to learn and develop your career.

·         Exposure to a broad multimodal logistics operation spanning road, rail and short-sea.

·         Competitive salary package in line with market standards.

·         Meal vouchers (ticket restaurant).

·         Flexibility, including the possibility of two remote working day per week.

·         A role at the heart of a growing European logistics group.
