Typical duties include updating shipment records, preparing documents, coordinating with customers and operational teams, resolving service issues, monitoring package information, and supporting compliance with company procedures. Candidates are generally expected to have strong organisation, communication and computer skills, good attention to detail, and the ability to work accurately under time pressure.

Flexibility for shift work, teamwork, reliability and a practical approach to problem-solving are also important. The role may involve working with internal systems, handling sensitive shipment information and meeting service and productivity targets.
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.
