Logistics & Supply Chain

K sh 50,000 – 90,000 gross / month

Openings: 6 positions Location: Nairobi – Embakasi ICD (Airport North Rd) Overview: Picture this: radios crackling, trucks rolling, phones buzzing, and you right in the middle of it all, keeping the chaos running like clockwork. Our client is bringing on six Logistics Coordinators to keep their high-energy 3PL operation at Embakasi ICD flowing smoothly. You’ll schedule dispatches, track trucks, and make sure deliveries land on time and in one piece. This is the kind of job where every hour counts. One minute you’re building routes and assigning drivers, the next you’re calming a client whose container just hit unexpected traffic on Mombasa Road. It’s fast, loud, and full of small wins that make big differences like shaving ten minutes off a turnaround or spotting a routing error before it costs money. The team moves FMCG and electronics daily under tight SLAs, so precision and communication are everything. You’ll own the POD process, keep tabs on demurrage, and make sure the fleet stays compliant and ready for the next run. If you thrive on movement, multitasking, and measurable results, this is your arena. Expect adrenaline, teamwork, and the satisfaction of watching hundreds of moving parts fall perfectly into place all thanks to you. Key Responsibilities: - Plan routes and loads; assign drivers/3rd parties. - Track shipments live; communicate ETAs; resolve exceptions. - Ensure PODs are complete, legible, and submitted the same day. - Control demurrage and waiting charges; escalate delays. - Maintain fleet compliance (permits, service, insurance). - Update TMS/ERP; publish daily dashboards. Education & Experience: - Diploma in Purchasing & Supplies/Business Mgmt. - 1–3 years in dispatch/logistics control. Skills & Tools: - TMS/ERP, Excel, Google Maps/Waze, calm under pressure, customer comms. KPIs: - OTIF, exception resolution time, cost/delivery, POD accuracy. Compensation (Kenya): KES 50,000–90,000 + shift allowance + safety bonus. Figures are client estimates and vary with experience and performance. Benefits: - Medical, uniform/PPE, meal/transport stipend for late shifts. Growth Path: - Senior Coordinator → Dispatch Supervisor → Logistics Manager. Ideal hierarchy and expected promotion cycle.
