Logistics Coordinator

Logistics Coordinator

Remote Recruitment is hiring a Logistics Coordinator to support a UK-based employer, working remotely from South Africa. You will keep shipments moving — booking collections, tracking deliveries, chasing carriers, and keeping customers informed when plans change. It is a role with a lot of moving parts, suited to someone who stays organised when the day does not go to plan.

Key responsibilities include:

• Booking collections and deliveries with UK and international carriers
• Tracking shipments and proactively updating customers on delays
• Preparing shipping documentation, including customs paperwork where needed
• Resolving delivery exceptions, damages, and lost consignments with carriers
• Maintaining accurate records in the transport management system
• Reporting weekly on delivery performance and carrier costs

What you will need:

• Two or more years in logistics, freight, supply chain, or shipping coordination
• Familiarity with carrier portals and transport or warehouse management systems
• Confident written and spoken English for carrier and customer contact
• Good working knowledge of Excel or Google Sheets
• A reliable computer and stable fibre or LTE internet
• Availability 09:00 to 17:00 UK time (11:00 to 19:00 SAST)

What is on offer:

• R17,000 to R22,000 per month, depending on experience
• 100% remote role with a UK employer
• Paid leave and UK public holidays
• Long-term, stable placement rather than short contract work
• Exposure to international freight and customs processes

Apply through Remote Recruitment with an up-to-date CV.

How the day works:

Mornings are usually spent clearing overnight carrier updates and resolving anything that did not deliver as planned. Afternoons cover new bookings, documentation, and customer updates. You will work alongside a small UK operations team and have direct contact with carriers rather than going through a middle layer. Remote Recruitment places South African talent with UK employers on long-term contracts, so you will be joining one business properly rather than moving between clients.
