Logistics Controller
Salary: £28,000–£30,000 + Benefits
Location: Warrington

Are you ready to join a values-driven organisation where service excellence is at the heart of everything we do? We’re a market-leading same-day/time-critical courier business with over 19 years of success behind us and an exciting future ahead. Our continued growth has created the opportunity for a talented Logistics Controller to join our team.

About the Role

As a Logistics Controller, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our operations run smoothly. You’ll work closely with our coordinators to understand customer needs, then manage the logistics of each job by:
*Identifying the most appropriate vehicle for the task (from small vans to articulated HGVs).
*Selecting the best providers to deliver on our promises.
*Monitoring job progress and implementing contingency plans to ensure customer satisfaction.
This is a full-time, office-based position in Warrington, and you’ll also take on on-call duties one week in four (with an additional allowance for this).
About You

*Understand vehicle types, logistics regulations, and geography (or be eager to learn).
*Be confident negotiating rates, timings, and locations with drivers.
*Possess excellent attention to detail.
*Take pride in delivering a job well done.
We’re not looking for warehouse experience, as the required skills may not be transferable.

What’s in It for You?
*Salary: £28,000–£30,000 per annum, with flexibility for the right candidate.
*Benefits: Comprehensive package, including additional perks to discuss at interview.
*Development: We support professional growth—80% of our team is actively engaged in career development programmes funded by the company.
*Opportunity: You’ll have the chance to shape your role and contribute directly to the company’s success.

Why Join Us?

We pride ourselves on being a relaxed but high-performing organisation that never compromises on quality. If you’re looking for a role where your contribution genuinely matters, this could be the opportunity for you.

Mandatory Requirements:
*Ability to reliably commute to Warrington.
*At least 3–5 years’ experience in traffic/logistics management (not warehouse).
