Logistics System Specialist
Heidelberg Materials UK
Date: 1 day ago
City: Syston
Contract type: Full time
At Heidelberg Materials, we’re shaping the future of construction with smart, sustainable, and digital logistics solutions. As one of the world’s leading suppliers of building materials, our operations depend on the seamless movement of aggregates, asphalt, cement, and ready-mix across the UK and beyond.
We're now looking for a skilled and driven Syncrotess Logistics System Expert to join our team and take the lead in powering our digital transport systems.
This is a pivotal role with real impact — sitting at the crossroads of operations, technology, and global collaboration.
Your Role:
As a Syncrotess Logistics System Expert, you'll be responsible for the configuration, optimisation, and performance of the Syncrotess Transport Control System (TCS) — the digital backbone of our logistics operations.
You’ll also be the operational lead for two other key systems:
Material Replenishment System (MRP) – enabling accurate, timely replenishment across our aggregates operations
Trackit – our electronic vehicle tracking and ticketing platform
And crucially, you’ll be responsible for getting the basics right — ensuring master data quality, process consistency, and strong foundational practices that underpin high-performing digital logistics systems.
As the UK’s key connection point to global Syncrotess experts, especially in Australia, you’ll help drive system alignment, share best practices, and embed consistency across the business — particularly within our Customer Service Centre (CSC) in Syston.
Who You Are:
You’re someone who knows that the success of digital systems starts with solid foundations. You value consistency, clean data, and well-defined processes. You’re confident working with technology and operational teams, able to connect the dots, solve problems quickly, and drive change where it’s needed.
You’re curious, collaborative, and thrive in an environment where innovation meets real-world logistics. And most importantly, you get things done — and you bring others with you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
At Heidelberg Materials, we’re not just moving materials — we’re moving the industry forward. Join us and you’ll be part of a team that:
Embraces innovation and digital transformation
Operates at scale with a focus on sustainability and excellence
Supports flexible working and career development
Connects local impact with global collaboration
Ready to build your future with us?
Apply now and bring your expertise to a business where logistics meets innovation.
