Redditch | Full-time, Permanent | £32,000 – £36,000 (DOE)

Do you thrive under pressure, live for the buzz of solving logistical challenges, and have a background in transport? Then read on, because we’ve got a fast-paced, highly collaborative opportunity with your name written all over it!

About the Role

We’re on the lookout for a confident and capable Logistics Coordinator to join a dynamic Time Critical team based in Redditch. This is an office-based role where you’ll take charge of ensuring vital shipments move from A to B—efficiently, cost-effectively, and most importantly, on time. Whether it’s by air, road, or hand-carry, you’ll be the calm in the chaos, coordinating critical deliveries and keeping customers informed every step of the way.

This isn’t a role for the faint-hearted—if the phrase “line stoppage” doesn’t scare you and you can juggle quotes, bookings, and problem-solving while sipping your morning brew, you're probably who we’re looking for.

What You’ll Be Doing in this Logistics Coordinator role

• Booking and tracking UK/EU and international shipments
• Quoting transport solutions and offering multiple routing options
• Managing and resolving line stoppage emergencies like a pro
• Coordinating with suppliers and internal teams
• Maintaining clear communication with customers and providing updates
• Closing out job files, chasing PODs and required documentation
• Monitoring KPIs and maintaining system data accuracy
• Collaborating with warehouse, operations, and accounts to ensure smooth workflows
• Always keeping one eye on cost-effectiveness and profit margins

What We’re Looking For in this Logistics Coordinator role

• A transport/logistics background – UK, EU or international (European planning experience is essential)
• High attention to detail and the ability to stay calm under pressure
• Previous experience working in a fast-paced, reactive environment
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• Computer literate (MS Office, email, spreadsheets, and databases)
• Highly organised with a “can-do” attitude and a team-first mindset
• Ability to prioritise conflicting requirements and multitask effectively
• A second language is a plus, but not essential
• CPC qualification is a bonus
• Some weekend work required on a rota basis

What's on Offer for this Logistics Coordinator role?

• Salary of £32-36,000 per annum
• Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 5:00pm (½ hour break)
• Friendly team and a dynamic work environment
