Logistics Manager – Low Carbon Transport
Location: UK Midlands
Climate17 is working with a fast-growing low-carbon transport and energy infrastructure business supporting the decarbonisation of the UK freight and logistics sector. The organisation designs, builds, owns, and operates a national network of alternative fuel refuelling infrastructure, enabling large commercial fleets to significantly reduce emissions while maintaining operational reliability.
With major investment secured and a clear growth strategy in place, the business is entering an expansion phase that includes the rollout of multiple large-scale public-access refuelling sites at key logistics hubs across the UK. As a result, they are seeking a Logistics Manager to play a critical role in ensuring transport operations scale efficiently, compliantly, and cost-effectively.
The Role
The Logistics Manager will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day transport operations while shaping future haulage strategy to support continued growth. This is a hands-on operational leadership role, combining people management, third-party logistics oversight, and close collaboration with finance and senior leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage third-party logistics (3PL) providers to ensure service, compliance, and cost targets are consistently met.
- Lead and develop a small transport planning team, providing coaching and support to deliver effective and efficient daily transport plans.
- Define and implement future haulage strategies aligned with the organisation’s expansion and operational requirements.
- Work closely with finance and senior leadership to develop, manage, and report against budgets, KPIs, and business plans.
- Collaborate with other functional managers to ensure a coordinated approach to asset, people, and operational management.
- Take ownership of troubleshooting and resolving ad hoc logistics issues and contributing to related operational projects as required.
The successful candidate will be highly organised, detail-oriented, and motivated by continuous improvement. You will be comfortable operating in a fast-paced, operationally critical environment and able to build strong working relationships across teams.
Key requirements include:
- Transport Manager CPC qualification with proven transport planning experience.
- Demonstrable experience managing 3PL providers within a supply chain or logistics environment.
- Strong understanding of current UK transport legislation and compliance requirements.
- Experience managing budgets, cost controls, and performance metrics.
- Excellent planning, organisational, and analytical skills with strong numerical capability.
- Advanced Excel skills and confidence using wider Microsoft Office applications.
- A proactive problem-solving mindset with the confidence to challenge and improve existing processes.
Benefits & Additional Information
- Competitive base salary and company pension.
- Private healthcare and life insurance.
- Ongoing training and professional development support.
- Discretionary performance-related bonus.
- 25 days’ annual leave.
- Additional allowance when covering out-of-hours remote operational support.
Working Arrangements
- This is a full-time, office-based role located at a remote monitoring and operations centre in the midlands.
- Occasional travel to operational sites and the company’s London office will be required.
- Standard mileage allowance and expenses provided for business travel outside the primary location.
