Operations Supervisor, Time Critical Logistics

Location: Heathrow (UB7)

Hours: 42.5 per week (early start with flexibility)

We’re working with a fast-paced, growing logistics operation near Heathrow that specialises in same-day, time-critical and urgent transport solutions.

This is not a standard “planner” role.

We’re looking for someone who has run a live transport desk, thrives under pressure, and can make fast, accurate decisions in a real-time operations environment.

The Role

  • Running a live same-day / time-critical transport desk
  • Managing urgent and dedicated vehicle movements in real time
  • Handling escalations, failures, and high-pressure situations
  • Supporting and leading operators/planners on shift
  • Making quick, commercially sound decisions under pressure
  • Working closely with drivers, customers, and internal teams

What We’re Looking For

  • Same-day courier / express logistics
  • Time-critical / AOG / urgent freight
  • Road freight operations with live dispatch environments
  • 5+ years in same-day courier or time-critical logistics
  • Proven experience running a live transport desk
  • Strong understanding of UK road freight, routing, and vehicle types
  • Experience in urgent / air freight / AOG movements (highly desirable)

Working Hours

  • Typically early start (6am–7am) – (Mon – Fri)
  • Flexibility required to cover occasional later shifts (9am / 10–11am starts)

Why Apply?

  • Join a business where decisions are made quickly and your impact is immediate
  • Be part of a high-performing, fast-paced operations team
  • Opportunity to take real ownership and step into a senior operational role
