Opportunity

You’ll be part of a core operations team, supporting the movement of goods across international markets while learning from experienced professionals. This is a genuine entry‑level role with clear progression. You’ll gain hands‑on experience from day one, starting with the fundamentals and developing into a more autonomous role as your skills grow.

• Coordinating with suppliers, depots, and customers
• Communicating with clients and partners to provide updates and resolve queries
• Supporting the team in identifying issues and improving processes

What We’re Looking For

• A degree (2:1 or above) in any discipline or 1 year logistics operational experience
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment and manage priorities
• A genuine interest in logistics and a clear motivation for applying
• A proactive mindset – someone who wants to understand why, not just follow processes
• A positive, team‑oriented attitude with a willingness to learn

What You’ll Get

• £24,000 starting salary
• 3% pension contribution
• 20 days holiday (rising to 25 after 3 years)
• Structured, hands‑on training and development
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing organisation
• A supportive, collaborative team environment
