Overview:
Keeping a logistics operation running smoothly isn't just about what happens in warehouses or on the road. It's about having the right information, the right coordination and the right support behind every decision.
At Screwfix, our logistics network is critical to delivering the products our customers need, when they need them. We're looking for a Logistics Coordinator to help bring structure, pace and organisation to a fast-moving operation that supports millions of customer journeys every year.

Ideally, you'll be available between 10am and 2pm each day, providing support during our core business hours, while maintaining some flexibility to accommodate key meetings and business priorities outside of these times when required. We're also open to discussing alternative part-time working patterns with candidates looking for additional hours, provided the role remains part-time overall.
