Logistics Coordinator

Logistics Coordinators organise the shipping, freight and transport of inventory, products, and raw materials in (and out) of the warehouse. They ensure that orders are fulfilled in a timely manner while maintaining optimum profitability and efficiency.

As a Logistics Coordinator you could be discussing the pickup time of a large customer order with the warehouse manager, rescheduling a shipment after a machinery breakdown on the production line, compiling a weekly shipping report for the logistics manager, following up on a late delivery complaint with a customer, or checking an invoice from a trucking company for the accounts department.

To succeed in this job role you’ll need to be highly organised and have outstanding problem-solving and negotiation skills.
