Your new company
I am looking to recruit a skilled Systems Specialist to join a global leader in the trade/logistics space based across the UK. You’ll be working for a business that expedites and simplifies the import/export process through innovative technology solutions. Due to multiple recent acquisitions, the environment is ripe for integrations and digital transformation. This role is a hybrid role, looking at around 3 days a week, so you will need to be located locally.
Your new role
As a Systems Specialist, you'll play a key role in optimising terminal operations and supporting critical business systems. Working closely with operational teams and IT specialists, you will:
- Gather user requirements and translate them into system specifications.
- Configure and implement applications for container terminal equipment.
- Provide daily operational support for Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), including proactive maintenance.
- Deliver training to system users across the business.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to identify performance trends and implement improvements.
- Act as 1st and 2nd line support for TOS-related issues.
What you'll need to succeed
- Experience in Port Operations, Logistics, or Distribution.
- Familiarity with terminal operating systems such as Zodiac or Navis (desirable).
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to convert operational requirements into clear processes.
- Experience in Business Process Modelling and project coordination.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
- Practical experience managing complex system projects, including go-lives and frontline support.
What you'll get in return
As well as a salary of up to £45,000, there is also a company bonus scheme up to 10%, BUPA healthcare, 25–28 holiday days + bank holidays, flexible working hours, free parking, 4x life assurance and company health cash plan. On top of this, they will fund courses/qualifications to improve your skill set, and you’ll get access to their flexible benefits platform to select other benefits that suit your circumstances.
