Description:
Logistics Coordinator – Quality and Operations
£30,000 - £31,000
Monday to Friday, office-based position
Mid Kent
We are currently supporting a well-established manufacturing business in the Maidstone area with the recruitment of a Logistics & Quality Coordinator.
This is a varied role suited to someone who enjoys a combination of coordination, administration and hands-on operational work. You’ll work closely with teams across the business, including production, warehouse and logistics, helping to ensure orders are prepared and dispatched accurately and on time.
The role would suit someone with experience in dispatch, logistics, warehouse administration or manufacturing, who is comfortable working across both office and operational environments.
Duties:
Coordinating deliveries and collections with transport providers
Preparing shipping and delivery documentation and keeping records up to date
Using an ERP system to process orders, stock movements and dispatch information
Carrying out basic quality and quantity checks before goods are dispatched
Monitoring stock levels and supporting inventory checks
Liaising with customers and internal teams regarding deliveries and order requirements
Supporting the warehouse and production teams with picking, packing and preparing goods for dispatch
Investigating and escalating any delivery, quality or operational issues
Producing basic reports and maintaining accurate administration
Working in line with company health and safety procedures
What We're Looking For:
We're looking for someone who is naturally organised, practical and enjoys working in a busy environment. You don't need to have experience in every part of the role, but you'll ideally bring some experience from a logistics, dispatch, manufacturing or warehouse setting.
You’ll be confident using computer systems, comfortable dealing with different people throughout the day and have a good eye for detail. Experience with SAP or another stock/ERP system would be useful.
The role also has a hands-on element, so you'll need to be happy getting involved on the operational side rather than being purely office-based. Experience with deliveries, transport companies, stock or quality checks would be a bonus.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone reliable, proactive and willing to get stuck in.
