Logistics Coordinator / Warehouse Administrator

Ipswich (Felixstowe Logistics Corridor) £30,000 to £40,000 Monday to Friday working (no surprise Saturday container drama) Genuine career progression (not just a promise in the handbook) Training and apprenticeship opportunities

The Role (aka: The Organised Chaos Controller)

A growing logistics and warehousing business—helping containers behave themselves after arriving through the Port of Felixstowe—is on the hunt for a Logistics Coordinator.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone already in logistics, warehouse admin, freight forwarding, or supply chain coordination who enjoys spinning multiple plates… and occasionally catching the ones that wobble.

What You’ll Be Doing

Think of yourself as the central nervous system of the warehouse—connecting customers, warehouse teams, and transport planners so everything runs smoothly (or at least looks like it does).

It’s roughly a 50/50 split between:

* Keeping systems updated and accurate

* Keeping customers informed and happy (or at least calm)

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

* Managing admin for multiple customer accounts (yes, multitasking is key)

* Processing inbound and outbound orders in the WMS (Warehouse Management System—not wizard magic system… sadly)

* Talking to customers about bookings, stock, and delivery schedules

* Producing stock reports that people will definitely read… eventually

* Working closely with warehouse and transport teams to hit deadlines

* Investigating stock discrepancies (aka playing detective)

* Supporting billing by capturing chargeable activity (because nothing moves for free)

* Helping onboard new clients and keeping documentation tidy and audit-ready

What You’ll Bring

* Experience in logistics, freight forwarding, or warehouse operations

* Strong admin and organisational skills (you love a good spreadsheet)

* Confidence communicating with both customers and ops teams

* Ability to juggle multiple priorities without dropping the important ones

* Experience with ETSF or bonded warehouses is a bonus (Felixstowe veterans, step right up)

In Short:

You’ll keep the stock moving, the systems accurate, the customers informed, and the warehouse running like a well-oiled (occasionally slightly chaotic) machine
