Logistics Coordinator in Warwick, Warwickshire

I am working with a fresh produce business who are looking to recruit a Logistics Coordinator to join their team.

This is a varied role within a busy, fast-paced logistics operation, where you will play an important part in making sure products get to the right place, at the right time and in the right condition. Working with both company drivers and third-party hauliers, you will help coordinate daily transport activities, keep customers and internal teams updated and ensure deliveries run as smoothly as possible.

With fresh produce being time-sensitive, things can change quickly, so this would suit someone who is organised, proactive and comfortable working in an environment where priorities can change throughout the day.

• Coordinate daily transport activities across company vehicles and third-party hauliers.

• Manage transport schedules, ensuring deliveries are planned and communicated effectively.

• Monitor delivery progress and keep Customer Services and operational teams updated on any delays or changes.

• React to last-minute transport issues, arranging alternative vehicles or solutions where needed.

• Support transport planning during busy seasonal periods.

• Coordinate driver inductions and ongoing training, maintaining accurate training and compliance records.

• Liaise with external hauliers, freight providers and suppliers, building strong working relationships.

• Obtain freight quotations, monitor supplier performance and support cost-saving initiatives.

• Keep transport management systems and administration up to date.

• Help identify ways to improve transport processes and overall efficiency.

• Support the business in maintaining high standards of Health & Safety and transport compliance.

• Previous experience in a logistics, transport, supply chain or freight administration role.

• An understanding of transport coordination and experience liaising with hauliers or external transport providers.

• Ideally, experience working with fresh produce, perishable or other time-sensitive products.

• Strong organisational and administration skills, with excellent attention to detail.

• Confident communication skills and the ability to build relationships with different stakeholders.

• Good problem-solving skills and the ability to react quickly when plans change.

• Comfortable working under pressure in a busy operational environment.

• Good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office and Excel.

You'll be someone who takes ownership of their work, enjoys being involved in the day-to-day running of a busy operation and doesn't mind having to think on their feet.

You'll need to be proactive, adaptable and customer-focused, with the confidence to communicate with drivers, hauliers and internal teams to keep things moving.
