The Transport Administrator supports daily transport operations for the DHL-Waitrose account, coordinating deliveries, updating transport systems, preparing paperwork, monitoring schedules and communicating with drivers, warehouses and customers. Candidates are expected to have good administrative and organisational skills, accuracy with data, confidence using Microsoft Office and the ability to communicate clearly in a busy environment. Previous experience in transport, logistics, distribution or customer service is useful, although comparable administration experience may be accepted. The role requires flexibility for rotational day shifts, reliability, problem-solving ability and a willingness to follow health, safety and operational procedures. Experience with transport management systems and knowledge of UK delivery operations would be advantageous.
DHL is one of the world's largest logistics and supply-chain companies, operating in more than 220 countries and territories. Its services include parcel delivery, freight forwarding, warehousing, contract logistics, customs support and supply-chain management. In the United Kingdom, DHL works with major retailers, manufacturers, healthcare organisations and technology businesses, providing transport and distribution solutions at scale. The company employs a large operational workforce across warehouses, transport hubs, offices and customer sites. DHL places strong emphasis on safety, service quality, efficiency, inclusion and sustainability. This role supports the company's contract logistics and transport activities for Waitrose, helping ensure goods move reliably through the retail supply chain. Employees may benefit from structured training, internal progression opportunities and experience with a globally recognised logistics brand.
The United Kingdom offers broad employment opportunities in logistics, retail distribution, transport, technology, healthcare, finance and professional services. Major logistics centres include the Midlands, London and the South East, with many roles based near warehouses, ports and airports. British workplace culture is generally professional, punctual and cooperative, with clear employment rights and health-and-safety standards. Lifestyle varies from busy cities to quieter coastal and rural areas, supported by public transport, the National Health Service and diverse communities. UK living costs can be high, especially in London and the South East. Applicants who are not British or Irish citizens normally need a visa, such as the Skilled Worker route, although eligibility depends on the occupation, salary, employer sponsorship and current immigration rules. Before relocating, check the official UK government visa guidance, arrange accommodation and budget for deposits, transport and healthcare-related costs.
