JOB DESCRIPTION

As a transport planner, you will be responsible, together with colleagues, for risk analyses and transport planning for transport assignments. This is done from a business perspective with the mandate to decide on matters such as restraints and staffing. Planning is based on high demands for security, efficiency, service level, and good resource management. To some extent, the tasks also involve more strategic planning for larger trials, for example: An important aspect of the job is to continuously collaborate with clients, colleagues in the planning section, and transport personnel during the planning process. In your daily work, you will be in contact with clients, travel agencies, airlines, border police, and others.

The needs of the operation and targeted assignments from the prison inspector will influence the more detailed distribution of tasks within the area of responsibility. The work is sometimes conducted under time pressure.
