Job description

Logistics System Specialist (JR10007710) Syston, England

Your Role:

As a Syncrotess Logistics System Expert, you'll be responsible for the configuration, optimisation, and performance of the Syncrotess Transport Control System (TCS) — the digital backbone of our logistics operations.

You’ll also be the operational lead for two other key systems:

Material Replenishment System (MRP) – enabling accurate, timely replenishment across our aggregates operations
Trackit – our electronic vehicle tracking and ticketing platform

And crucially, you’ll be responsible for getting the basics right — ensuring master data quality, process consistency, and strong foundational practices that underpin high-performing digital logistics systems.

As the UK’s key connection point to global Syncrotess experts, especially in Australia, you’ll help drive system alignment, share best practices, and embed consistency across the business — particularly within our Customer Service Centre (CSC) in Syston.

Who You Are:

You’re someone who knows that the success of digital systems starts with solid foundations. You value consistency, clean data, and well-defined processes. You’re confident working with technology and operational teams, able to connect the dots, solve problems quickly, and drive change where it’s needed.

You’re curious, collaborative, and thrive in an environment where innovation meets real-world logistics. And most importantly, you get things done — and you bring others with you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Configure and support the Syncrotess TCS across aggregates, asphalt, ready-mix, and cement operations

Lead UK operations for the Material Replenishment System (MRP) and Trackit

Ensure data accuracy and consistency by managing and improving master data inputs across key systems

Champion the importance of clean data, standardised processes, and consistent system usage

Collaborate with international Syncrotess teams to align on system development and best practice

Drive digital efficiency and operational excellence in the Syston CSC

Support the deliver of training, user support, and documentation

Support ERP and platform integrations alongside IT and logistics teams

What You Bring:

Experience with Syncrotess or a similar transport control/logistics platform

Strong operational knowledge of aggregates or construction materials logistics

Understanding of digital vehicle tracking, replenishment systems, and ticketing platforms

Experience working with or maintaining master data in a logistics or supply chain context

A proactive mindset, strong attention to detail, and a desire to get the fundamentals right

Great communication skills and ability to work with stakeholders across location

Bonus Points For:

Experience working in a centralised customer service or logistics control environment

Knowledge of ERP systems (e.g. SAP), API integrations, or XML-based interfaces

Exposure to digital transformation projects in logistics or construction materials
