The Opportunity

Are you looking for a role where supplier engagement, performance insight, and logistics compliance come together?

We’re recruiting a Logistics Category Specialist to join Holcim UK in a regional role supporting our outsourced logistics network across the South East.

This isn’t a planning role. Instead, you’ll work closely with a wide network of hauliers and 3PL partners, acting as a key link between suppliers and the wider logistics and category team.

You’ll play a critical role in monitoring supplier performance, supporting commercial decisions, and ensuring safety and compliance standards are consistently met across the network.

What You'll Be Doing

• Acting as a key point of contact for regional hauliers and logistics suppliers, supporting day-to-day queries and relationship management

• Carrying out supplier audits, vehicle inspections, and site visits to ensure compliance with safety and operational standards

• Monitoring telematics and performance data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement

• Providing insight to support rate discussions, supplier selection, and regional capacity planning

• Producing supplier scorecards, dashboards, and performance reporting to inform decision-making

• Working closely with operations and procurement to ensure alignment between supplier performance, cost, and service delivery

Who you are

• You have experience working with logistics suppliers, hauliers, or 3PL providers, rather than purely internal planning or scheduling.

• You understand transport compliance, safety standards, and supplier performance management.

• You enjoy building relationships with external partners and acting as a trusted point of contact.

• You are comfortable working with data to track performance, identify issues, and support improvements.

• You’re organised and proactive, able to manage multiple suppliers and priorities across a regional network.
