Logistics Administrator

About the role
We're working with a specialist transport and logistics business looking for an experienced Logistics Administrator to join their team.
 
This is a busy, hands on role where you'll play an important part in keeping daily transport operations running smoothly. From coordinating drivers and booking third party transport providers to monitoring consignments and managing scheduling changes, you'll be across the detail and comfortable juggling competing priorities.
 
We're particularly interested in hearing from people with previous 3PL, transport coordination or logistics administration experience who understand the pace of the industry and enjoy being at the centre of the action.
 
What's on offer?

• Up to $70K salary
• Monday to Friday working hours (Sorry no hybrid options)
• A varied role where no two days are quite the same
• The opportunity to take ownership of your workload within a busy logistics operation

About you
You'll be an organised, proactive and switched on individual who thrives in a fast paced environment. You enjoy keeping things moving, staying on top of the details and making sure everyone has the information they need. You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in logistics administration, transport coordination or a 3PL environment
• Strong scheduling and coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple bookings and competing priorities
• Confidence communicating with drivers, customers and external transport providers
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to follow through on tasks
• Strong computer skills and the confidence to pick up new systems quickly
• A practical, can-do attitude and the ability to think on your feet when plans change
• A friendly and professional approach to customer service

What you'll be doing

• Answering incoming calls and greeting customers on arrival
• Booking shipments with third party logistics providers and out of area delivery agents
• Monitoring bookings, updating schedules and allocating urgent jobs to drivers
• Allocating next day consignments and communicating updates with drivers
• Monitoring specialist equipment movements and emailing daily photo updates to stakeholders
• Providing general office support as needed

Interested?
If you have a background in logistics or transport coordination and enjoy a role where organisation, communication and quick thinking are key, we'd love to hear from you.
