Position Overview
The Assistant Supervisor in Dubai plans the daily effective use of logistics resources — managing and handling floor and delivery operations to maximize productivity, planning outgoing truck loading schedules and routing to meet delivery lead-time targets, communicating with the Trade Marketing CBD team and customer receiving staff to streamline delivery issues, ensuring stock accuracy through weekly cycle count reconciliation, managing delivery returns with correct quantity and quality verification, coordinating payment and invoice confirmation at point of delivery, maintaining outgoing product quality and loading standards, inspecting trucks and trailers for QA compliance and supervising the delivery team’s training, qualification and performance reviews — while deputizing the Transport Senior Supervisor when required.
Why This Role Matters: In Dubai’s intensely competitive FMCG market, where retail chains, hypermarkets and neighbourhood stores expect precise, on-time delivery of the right products in perfect condition every single day, the Assistant Supervisor is the operational engine that keeps the distribution machine running at peak efficiency. Every truck that leaves the warehouse on the right route at the right time with the right products loaded correctly, every invoice confirmed and every dirham collected at the point of delivery is a direct result of this role’s planning precision, supervisory discipline and customer-first operational focus.

Key Responsibilities
Resource Planning & Daily Operations Management
- Plan the daily effective use of logistics resources — managing and handling floor operations, delivery personnel allocation and daily workload distribution to maximize workforce productivity and ensure all outgoing dispatch activities are executed efficiently and without operational delay at the Dubai distribution facility.
- Manage and coordinate floor and delivery operations on a daily basis — overseeing truck loading sequences, dispatch timing, driver briefings and operational readiness to achieve maximum throughput while maintaining the product quality and accuracy standards required for customer satisfaction.
- Deputize the Transport Senior Supervisor during their absence — taking on full supervisory authority and operational decision-making responsibility across all transport, dispatch and fleet management functions to ensure uninterrupted operational performance regardless of senior management availability.
Truck Routing, Scheduling & Fleet Utilization
- Plan daily outgoing truck loading to maximize staff productivity — coordinating loading sequences, assigning staff to vehicles and optimizing loading patterns to achieve the highest possible throughput within the available shift window without compromising product quality or loading standards.
- Plan and schedule truck routing effectively and efficiently — designing daily delivery routes that meet customer delivery lead-time targets while maximizing fleet utilization and minimizing fuel, time and resource costs across the Dubai delivery territory served by the FMCG distribution operation.
- Communicate proactively with the Trade Marketing CBD team and customer receiving staff — streamlining delivery issues, expediting truck and trailer offloading at customer premises and resolving any delivery-related communication or coordination challenges before they escalate into customer service failures.
Stock Accuracy, Delivery Returns & Payment Collection
- Ensure stock accuracy at the outgoing dispatch point — verifying that the quantity of goods loaded onto each delivery truck matches the order quantity exactly, facilitating weekly cycle counts and reconciliations to achieve and maintain accurate inventory records within the distribution management system.
- Verify and confirm the quantity and quality of goods returned from the trade — ensuring all delivery returns are correctly inspected, counted and documented against the relevant return documents, preventing customer complaints and stock variation discrepancies that undermine inventory accuracy and financial controls.
- Ensure collection of cheques and cash payments at the time of delivery in adherence to the payment terms stated on each invoice — and ensure all signed invoices are returned to the warehouse on the same day of delivery as confirmed proof of delivery, maintaining financial compliance and customer account accuracy.
Product Quality, QA Compliance & Delivery Staff Development
- Ensure the quality of goods offloaded and loaded is perfect at all times — supervising loading and offloading patterns to ensure they do not create product damages or trade returns, and maintaining the product presentation and quality standards that protect the company’s reputation with its Dubai retail and FMCG customers.
- Ensure all incoming and outgoing trailers and trucks are inspected and maintained in perfect condition — conducting or supervising regular vehicle inspections to comply with QA standards, UAE transport regulations and the company’s own fleet safety and hygiene requirements.
- Ensure delivery staff are regularly trained and qualified — reviewing team performance on an ongoing basis and providing structured coaching, refresher training and performance feedback that achieves and sustains desired picking and delivery accuracy standards across the entire delivery team.
Qualifications & Requirements
Education & Experience
- Graduate degree in any relevant discipline — or a high school diploma with equivalent relevant professional experience in logistics, transport operations or FMCG distribution supervisory roles.
- Minimum 3 years of supervisory experience in fleet management — demonstrating direct, hands-on responsibility for managing delivery fleets, truck routing and scheduling, delivery staff supervision and distribution operations management in a comparable FMCG or logistics environment.
- Good knowledge of Quality Assurance elements and implementation — with practical understanding of QA standards applicable to vehicle inspection, product loading quality and delivery operational compliance in a food or FMCG distribution context.
