You’ll help manage vehicle flow, documentation, and compliance, contributing directly to safe and efficient operations.

This is a hands-on, site-based role offering the opportunity to build your experience in logistics administration within a fast-paced and collaborative environment. You'll join a small, supportive team where knowledge sharing and collaboration are part of the day-to-day. We know there's a lot to learn, from site processes and documentation to systems and compliance requirements, so you'll receive dedicated support and training during your onboarding.

• Support general administrative tasks within the logistics function
• Learn and develop knowledge of site logistics processes, systems, documentation requirements, and compliance procedures, supported by structured onboarding and training.

Who We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in logistics administration, transport, gatehouse, warehouse administration, or similar operational environments is beneficial but not essential.
• Confident using computers and systems, with experience of Microsoft Office. Exposure to ERP systems such as Infor M3 is an advantage, but training will be provided.
• Attention to detail and ability to work accurately when managing documentation and records.
• Able to prioritise tasks, stay organised, and adapt when priorities change throughout the day.
• A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a proactive approach to supporting the team.
• Flexible and willing to support colleagues during busy periods and holiday cover.

What You’ll Receive

• 25 days of holiday per calendar year based on full-time working hours.
• Structured onboarding with dedicated support from experienced team members.
• Opportunity to gain exposure to logistics operations, transport administration, compliance, and site coordination activities.
• Opportunity to work within a global organisation
• Working hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 6:00pm. Some flexibility is required to support operational needs, and we aim to offer the same flexibility in return.
• Team structure: You'll work as part of a two-person logistics administration team, with overlapping shifts to ensure support and continuity throughout the day.
