Transport and Logistics Specialist in Lincoln, Lincolnshire

At Panda, we are looking for a highly organised Logistics Coordinator to support our UK Bulk Haulage operation. This is a key role within the transport team, helping to keep fleet activity running smoothly, supporting vehicle planning, maintaining accurate records and ensuring strong communication across the driving team.

The Logistics Coordinator role would suit someone with strong administration skills, good attention to detail and an interest in transport, logistics or fleet operations. As Logistics Coordinator, you will provide day-to-day support to transport operations, helping to improve efficiency, manage key records and support the smooth running of fleet activity.

You will work closely with the Fleet Manager, drivers and internal teams to track vehicle movements, support planning, manage transport information and help ensure operational requirements are met. This role will also support fleet planning when operational demand is high, helping make sure vehicles, drivers and resources are coordinated effectively.

• Providing administrative support to transport operations
• Producing daily transport plans in line with customer orders and expectations
• Supporting vehicle planning, routing and fleet utilisation
• Logging vehicle bottlenecks, times and registrations to support claims and disputes
• Monitoring vehicle sales, VORs and driver availability to maintain clear operational oversight
• Managing records for vehicle inspections, MOTs and servicing schedules
• Booking jobs onto the group weighbridge software
• Helping compile wage information and holiday bookings
• Ensuring drivers hours and transport regulations are being followed
• Providing telephone cover during key meetings and training sessions
• Assisting with other duties within the scope of the transport function

We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive and comfortable working in a busy transport environment. Experience in transport, logistics or fleet administration is ideal but not essential. Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office and relevant business systems is required, along with strong IT literacy and confidence working with data.

The ability to understand and use data to identify improvement opportunities is important. A good understanding of transport and logistics operations would be advantageous, along with knowledge of:

• Transport administration
• Regulatory documentation
• Legal and compliance requirements within transport operations

A Transport Manager CPC or Professional CPC qualification would be advantageous, although training may be offered if required. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop their career in transport and logistics within a busy operational environment.

As a Logistics Coordinator at Panda, you will play an important part in keeping our fleet operation organised, compliant and efficient, while supporting a team that helps deliver essential services every day.
