About the Role

Join Day Group as a Logistics Coordinator supporting our operations in Crawley and Shoreham, helping to manage the movement of aggregates, recycled materials, and waste streams across the South East. In this role, you’ll coordinate deliveries, incoming materials, internal transfers, and haulage requirements, ensuring materials are moved safely, efficiently, and in line with customer expectations.

Working closely with customers, drivers, hauliers, suppliers, and site teams, you’ll oversee the flow of information and vehicles across two busy operational locations. From managing transport schedules and weighbridge activities to supporting compliance documentation and resolving logistical challenges, you’ll play an important role in keeping our operations running smoothly.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied workload, thrives in a team environment, and wants to build a long-term career within a growing logistics and materials business.

Person Specification

We’re looking for an organised and adaptable individual who can confidently balance customer service, administration, transport coordination, and operational support.

You’ll be comfortable communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, from customers and suppliers to drivers and site teams, and capable of making informed decisions in a busy operational environment. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage changing priorities are essential.

Experience within aggregates, waste management, recycling, construction materials, or transport operations would be advantageous, although we welcome applications from candidates with transferable logistics and planning experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate customer orders, transport requests, and operational enquiries
• Plan incoming materials, outgoing deliveries, and internal transfers across Crawley, Shoreham, and the wider Day Group network
• Manage vehicle allocations across the Company's HGV fleet and external haulage providers
• Source, engage, and coordinate third-party hauliers to meet operational requirements
• Operate and manage weighbridge activities, ensuring accurate vehicle and material records
• Conduct driver, contractor, and haulier inductions in accordance with depot procedures
• Administer Waste Transfer Notes and associated logistics documentation where required
• Monitor transport activity and respond proactively to operational changes or delivery issues
• Liaise with customers, drivers, suppliers, and operational teams to ensure service levels are maintained
• Process transport administration including invoicing support, vehicle earnings, and driver-related records
• Promote high standards of health, safety, compliance, and environmental performance
• Maintain accurate records to support operational reporting and regulatory requirements

Skills and Experience

Essential

• Strong organisational and administrative skills
• Excellent communication skills, particularly over the telephone
• Good geographical knowledge and route-planning awareness
• Ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively under pressure
• Strong attention to detail and accurate record-keeping abilities
• Good numeracy and literacy skills
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word and Excel
• Professional, customer-focused approach and strong problem-solving capability

Desirable

• Experience within logistics, transport, aggregates, recycling, waste management, or construction materials
• Understanding of HGV scheduling and transport operations
• Knowledge of drivers' hours legislation and Working Time Directive requirements
• Experience using transport management, weighbridge, or operational software systems
• Familiarity with Waste Transfer Notes and material movement documentation
• Knowledge of depot health and safety procedures and compliance requirements
• Experience coordinating subcontracted haulage providers
