A career with Co-op in logistics could take you in any number of different directions including warehouse management, transport, supply chain or one of our support roles.

As a warehouse colleague you’ll be responsible for moving products around the warehouse – picking items our stores have ordered and loading the delivery vehicles.

Our LGV Drivers are responsible for getting products to our stores when our customers need them. Whichever role you choose you’ll find plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and build a career in logistics.

Leading a team in one of our warehouse departments, you’ll be responsible for running the operation in your area while on shift. As a team manager there’s lots of variety making every day different. From managing reports and safety, to supporting your team to achieve their targets, team managers play a key role in keeping the Co-op supply chain moving.

It’s a big job, but with lots of variety and challenge on offer, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to develop your skills and grow as Co-op leader.
