Job description

Job title: Logistics Project Coordinator
Location: Wigston, Leicester
Salary: Up to 40,000 per annum DOE
Job type: Permanent, Full-Time
Industry: Logistics / Distribution and Supply Chain

Some businesses talk about growth; this one is quietly getting on with it. This established Leicester logistics business has built its reputation on doing what it says it will, on time and without fuss, and that reliability has seen it win more customers, take on bigger projects and grow its team. It's a friendly, close-knit environment where good ideas get listened to rather than lost in a chain of approvals. Now it's looking for a Logistics Project Coordinator to help drive the next stage of that growth.

This role isn't for the faint-hearted. It needs someone who takes full ownership of every project they touch and knows exactly where each one stands at any given moment. There's no "my work here is done" mentality here; the job is done when the customer is happy and not a minute before. If you're the person who follows things through, chases the loose ends nobody else noticed and gets a genuine buzz from seeing a complicated plan come together, this is a role where your work will be seen and valued.
