Transport and Logistics Supply Chain

Nestlé is a robust and stable organization, proud of its role in bringing the best food and beverage throughout the stages of the consumers lives.

As the world’s largest food and beverage company, we are driven by a simple aim: unlocking the power of food to enhance quality of life for everyone today and for generations to come. To deliver on this, we serve with passion and a spirit of excellence, offering products and services for all stages of life, every moment of the day, helping people care for themselves and their families. Our culture is based on our values rooted in respect: respect for ourselves, respect for others, respect for diversity, and respect for the future.

We can trace our origin back to 1866, when the first European condensed milk factory was opened in Cham, Switzerland, by the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. One year later, Henri Nestlé, a trained pharmacist, launched one of the world’s first prepared infant cereals ‘Farine lactée’ in Vevey, Switzerland.

Today, we employ around 273,000 people and have factories or operations in almost every country in the world. With our headquarters still based in the Swiss town of Vevey, we had sales of CHF 84.3 billion in 2020.

Our portfolio covers almost every food and beverage category, offering products and services for all stages of life, every moment of the day, helping people care for themselves and their families.
The Transport Optimizer forms part of the operational team responsible for transportation planning. Within the team, the transport optimizer will function as first point of contact for order creators. The transport optimizer will focus on the transformation of freight units to freight orders while meeting predefined constraints including source and destination shipping schedules, requested delivery dates and planning cutoff times. All freight order creation activities performed by the transport optimizer should fulfill the objective of building actionable and mode-optimal transportation plans.

Key output:
Build actionable load plans for sucessful execution by warehousing and hauling service providers

Perform load planning in a timely fashion -- promptly generating visibility to planning exceptions as they arise

Organize and consolidate seemingly disparate transportation demand into mode-optimal freight orders given inputs from upstream supply chain partners, specifically targeting the manner in which vehicles can be further utilized

Act as point of contact for STO order creators
