Trainee Logistics Coordinator
Location: Glasgow [PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU ARE NOT BASED IN GLASGOW]Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Build Your Career in Logistics from the Ground Up
We’re looking for an enthusiastic, reliable and hardworking individual to join our growing operations team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a school leaver, college leaver or someone at the beginning of their career who wants to develop into a skilled logistics professional.
You don’t need previous logistics experience—we’ll teach you everything you need to know. What we’re looking for is someone with a great attitude, a willingness to learn and the motivation to build a long-term career.
As a Trainee Logistics Coordinator, you’ll work alongside our experienced Logistics Manager and wider operations team, learning every aspect of warehouse operations, stock management, shipping and logistics.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a hands-on role where you’ll learn the business from the ground up.
During your first couple of years, you’ll be expected to become involved in the day-to-day operation of our warehouse as well as learning the systems and processes that sit behind it.
No two days are the same. One morning you could be unloading a shipping container, checking and counting incoming stock or labelling products. In the afternoon you may be preparing customer orders, carrying out quality checks, learning our Warehouse Management System (WMS) or assisting with shipping documentation.
We believe the best logistics professionals understand every part of the operation. That’s why we invest in teaching our trainees the fundamentals before progressing them into more senior responsibilities.
If you’re prepared to work hard, get stuck in and learn, we’ll provide the training and support to help you build a rewarding career.

- Assist the wider management team with general business and operational tasks as required.
- Carry out a variety of practical warehouse duties and administrative tasks that help keep the business running efficiently.
