Description
It's more than a job
When you work in Freight Logistics and Operations at Kuehne+Nagel, you play a key role in optimising processes and ensuring that inventory and shipments move efficiently. But that is not all. Your work also helps ensure that vital medicines reach patients on time and supports other essential deliveries, from wind turbines to semiconductors. At Kuehne+Nagel, our contribution counts in more ways than we imagine.
Are you ready to take control of critical transport operations in a fast-paced, high-stakes logistics environment? We’re looking for a Transport Controller to join our LHR team to ensure the smooth coordination of time-sensitive preplanned/same day collections, deliveries, and airport tenders & recoveries.
As a Transport Controller, you’ll be responsible for managing daily driver schedules, monitoring live transport activities, and ensuring compliance with operational standards. You’ll work closely with internal teams and external partners to deliver exceptional service for QuickSTAT and Sterling Aviation consignments—many of which are life sciences or AOG time critical.
How you create impact
If you would like to become a valued member of our team, we will make sure that you’re rewarded for your commitment and expertise. You can join the contributory Kuehne + Nagel pension plan and enjoy our Route 2 Rewards scheme which offers everything from discounts, benefit information, recognition and its own wellbeing centre. We care for our colleagues (and their immediate family) with our employee assistance program providing access to 24/7 GP, legal and financial advice along with mental health counselling. All of this to help you live a happier and healthier life as proud holders of the Gold Covenant, we are a forces-friendly employer who recognize the skills, expertise and value service leavers bring to our organization.
Who we are
Logistics shapes everyday life - from the goods we consume to the healthcare we rely on. At Kuehne+Nagel, your work goes beyond logistics; it enables both ordinary and special moments in the lives of people around the world.
As a global leader with a strong heritage and a vision to move the world forward, we offer a safe, stable environment where your career can make a real difference. Whether we help deliver life-saving medicines, develop sustainable transportation solutions or support our local communities, your career will contribute to more than you can imagine.
We kindly advise that placement agencies refrain from submitting unsolicited profiles. Any submissions of candidates without prior signed agreement will be considered our property and no fees will be paid.
