Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Operations Support Agent provides administrative and coordination support for FedEx air and ground operations.

Experience in customer service, logistics, transport, warehousing, or an operational office environment is useful. The candidate is expected to process shipment information, update systems, coordinate with colleagues and customers, resolve routine issues, follow company procedures, and maintain high service and safety standards. Flexibility may be required for shift work, weekends, and changing operational demands. A practical, dependable attitude, attention to detail, teamwork, and willingness to learn are important.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
