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

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.

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

  * 

    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
