A customer-focused approach, good organisation, resilience and the ability to meet targets are expected. The role may involve visiting customers, preparing proposals, analysing account performance and working closely with operations and customer service teams. Applicants should be comfortable working independently, managing a sales pipeline and travelling within the assigned territory when required. Knowledge of the UK market, logistics or international shipping would be advantageous.
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.
