Guide to Logistics Jobs

Find a rewarding career in the logistics industry


Logistics, also known as supply chain management or distribution, encompasses all the jobs necessary to move goods to the right places. Logistic jobs include inventory control, order processing, purchasing, material handling, warehousing, transportation, traffic, and parts and maintenance support. A single person might do all these jobs in a small company. Large corporations employ specialists who work in only one or two logistic areas.

Whether a business is in retail, manufacturing, defense, construction or hospitality, it relies on the efficient delivery of goods. An early delivery presents storage problems; a late delivery delays projects. Careers in logistics require a variety of skills. Luckily, that means that logistic jobs appeal to many job seekers:

1. Planners and analysts are attracted to inventory control and purchasing careers in logistics.

2. Good communicators can work in order processing and customer service jobs in logistics.

3. Active people choose positions in warehousing and material handling.

4. Independent workers seek employment in logistics as truck drivers and route delivery persons.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Build a career in the logistics industry Logistics is a good industry for entry-level job seekers. Start your logistics career in warehousing and work your way up to inventory systems management.

I recommend:  Find logistics job listings at LogJobs. Search jobs and post your resume on this website which concentrates exclusively on the logistics industry. JobsInLogistics bills itself as the largest logistics job board and allows you to search jobs by location or category.

Hit the road with distribution jobs If you don't want to spend your days in the office or the warehouse, consider a job in transportation. You can find logistic jobs in truck driving, rail transportation, and local delivery.

I recommend:  Visit Find a Trucking Job and search logistics employment by state. The website works best if you click on your home state to start the search. RAILjobs.com lists jobs postings from actual rail companies and staffing companies.

Use your experience to move into logistics management Talented logisticians can use their skills to move into middle- and upper-level management. The highest levels of logistics employment include Purchasing Manager, Distribution Manager, Transportation Director and Vice President of Logistics.

I recommend:  The Lucas Group works with both employers and job seekers to fill high-level logistics openings. Job seekers should register with them to work with a recruiter.
