Job Description:

Are you looking for a role where supplier engagement, performance insight, and logistics compliance come together?

We’re recruiting a Logistics Category Specialist to join Holcim UK in a regional role supporting our outsourced logistics network across the South.

This isn’t a planning role. Instead, you’ll work closely with a wide network of hauliers and 3PL partners, acting as a key link between suppliers and the wider logistics and category team.

You’ll play a critical role in monitoring supplier performance, supporting commercial decisions, and ensuring safety and compliance standards are consistently met across the network.

Role: Logistics Specialist.

Location: Hybrid working – mix of regional hub office, site visits and home working. Typically 2 days office, 1-2 days sites/hauliers, remainder flexible.

Shift: Monday – Friday, 8.30am – 5pm.

Salary: £35k – 50k.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Acting as a key point of contact for regional hauliers and logistics suppliers, supporting day‑to‑day queries and relationship management
  • Carrying out supplier audits, vehicle inspections, and site visits to ensure compliance with safety and operational standards
  • Monitoring telematics and performance data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement
  • Providing insight to support rate discussions, supplier selection, and regional capacity planning
  • Producing supplier scorecards, dashboards, and performance reporting to inform decision‑making
  • Working closely with operations and procurement to ensure alignment between supplier performance, cost, and service delivery

Who you are

  • You have experience working with logistics suppliers, hauliers, or 3PL providers, rather than purely internal planning or scheduling
  • You understand transport compliance, safety standards, and supplier performance management
  • You enjoy building relationships with external partners and acting as a trusted point of contact
  • You are comfortable working with data to track performance, identify issues, and support improvements
  • You’re organised and proactive, able to manage multiple suppliers and priorities across a regional network

Benefits

  • Advice and editing on your current CV
  • Dedicated team throughout your journey within the role
  • Paid holiday
  • Exclusive online services including restaurant and retail discounts
  • Chance to receive £300 for referring a friend
  • Opportunity for progression into permanent roles
  • Competitive rates of pay
