Graduate Trainee - Logistics

We are looking to recruit a graduate trainee to support our long-term expansion plans. Being part of a small yet growing logistics business means that you will get great training across all areas of the business and at all levels. One month you will be resolving client issues in our Customer Advisory department, the next rotation you might be sorting parcels at 5am and then the following day you will be with the owners of the business discussing future strategy.

The training programme includes:

• Quick fire all departments ‘learn the business’ module

• Customer Advisory – compliance and customer support

• Operations – morning sort, day operations, evening shift, driving

• Sales and marketing – acquiring new customers, pricing, producing marketing collateral

• Project work for the directors

You need to be willing to take ownership for achieving results, think on your feet and not be afraid to ‘roll your sleeves up’.   Your standard working hours will typically be 9am to 6pm.
