The Role

We are currently recruiting on behalf of a leading logistics provider based in Redditch to join their Time Critical department. This is a fast-paced, dynamic environment where no two days are the same. We are looking for two driven individuals to act as the pivot point between customers, suppliers, and internal teams, ensuring urgent freight moves seamlessly across the UK and Europe.  Operating on a 07:00 – 19:00 schedule, you will act as a hybrid between Customer Service and Transport Planning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Commercial Quoting & Solutions: You will manage customer enquiries via phone and email, providing rapid quotations for UK and EU transport. You will need to offer multiple solutions—including Airfreight, Road transport, and Hand Carry—to meet client deadlines while reviewing routes to maximize profitability.
• Operational Management: You will be responsible for booking and tracking shipments, sourcing suppliers, and communicating effectively with them to ensure transport is planned cost-effectively.
• Critical Problem Solving: The role involves dealing with high-pressure situations, such as line stoppages, requiring immediate action and solution-finding.
• Customer Communication: acting as the primary point of contact, you will keep customers updated on the progress of their jobs and escalate any issues relating to requirements effectively
• Administration & Compliance: Closing out job files by obtaining Proof of Deliveries (PODs), Purchase Orders, and SPTR references. You will ensure all jobs are completed on the system and checked prior to invoicing, maintaining data integrity at all times
• Warehouse Liaison: You will ensure clear communication with the warehouse team regarding returns and outgoing loads to allow for effective planning

The Ideal Candidate:

• Experience: You must have a sound knowledge of the Transport and Freight Forwarding industry, with European planning experience being essential.
• Skills: Strong computer literacy (MS Office, spreadsheets) is required, along with a good level of numeracy and literacy
• Attributes: You should be highly organized, able to prioritize conflicting requirements, and remain focused under pressure. A second language would be an advantage, though it is not essential

Shift Pattern:

• 4 days on, 4 days off.
• 07:00am – 19:00pm.

Benefits:

• Competitive Base Salary + 10% Shift Allowance.
• 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays (Option to purchase 5 extra days).

• Standards & Compliance: Take the reins on managing the company's ISO 14001 and 9001 certifications, alongside other vital environmental and H&S accreditations.
• Training & Equipment: Manage the company-wide H&S training regime and keep on top of all PPE supplies for the team.

Who We're Looking For

• You have a minimum of 5 years of H&S supervision experience within construction, facilities management, or maintenance.
• You hold the relevant H&S qualifications (such as NEBOSH or IOSH) and know your way around a Construction Phase Plan like the back of your hand.
• You are a confident communicator who can build great rapport with site teams, architects, and facilities managers.
• You must drive and hold a full UK license, as you will be travelling to various local sites across Warwickshire.

About the Opportunity

Are you a creative marketer looking for an exciting new challenge in a beautiful rural setting?

We are partnering with a highly successful, long-standing business (with over 45 years of history!) in the agricultural sector. They are looking for a versatile Marketing Assistant. You don’t need decades of experience for this role—if you have a solid foundation in marketing, a great attitude, and a willingness to get stuck in, this is the perfect place to grow!

This is a dynamic role with a clear 80% Marketing / 20% Administration split. You will report directly to the Commercial Management team, driving the company's digital presence while also getting to learn the business inside out by occasionally supporting the core operations team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Digital Content: Keep the company website fresh and engaging using the WordPress CMS.
• Social Media & Campaigns: Be the voice of the brand! Create exciting posts, manage email marketing via Mailchimp, and produce regular newsletters and market reports.
• Creative Design: Whip up eye-catching marketing materials for digital and print using Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign and Photoshop), and build great relationships with external designers and printers.
• Events: Take the lead on organising trade stands for industry events and support the field team with client meetings.
• Operations Support (The 20%): For about 5 weeks a year, you’ll provide holiday cover for the busy administration department. This involves managing bookings, processing invoices and payments, and helping customers with their queries.

Who We're Looking For

• You must drive and have your own transport due to the beautiful rural location.
• You have some proven marketing experience, particularly with WordPress, Mailchimp, Adobe Creative Suite, and MS Office.
• You don't need a background in agriculture—your initiative, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn are what matter most!
• You are highly organised, confident, and happy working independently.
• A Marketing degree or CIM qualification is a fantastic bonus, but definitely not essential.
