hypersonica-prod - Logistics Coordinator
Requirements
• Experienced in logistics, supply chain, freight forwarding, shipping or operations within aerospace, defence, automotive, advanced manufacturing or another complex hardware environment. • Comfortable taking ownership of shipments from collection through to delivery rather than simply placing bookings. • Familiar with international shipping documentation and customs processes. • Comfortable working with Incoterms and understanding who is responsible for what during a shipment. • Highly organised and able to manage multiple movements at once without losing sight of what is genuinely critical. • Someone who naturally follows problems through to resolution. • Calm when a shipment is delayed, paperwork is wrong or the original plan stops working. • Comfortable picking up the phone and chasing a supplier, courier, customs broker or freight forwarder until the issue is resolved. • Detail orientated without becoming process heavy. • Able to work across Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, Quality and Programmes and understand why one crate may matter significantly more than another. • Comfortable operating in an environment where priorities change quickly and not everything has an established process yet. • Motivated by building something rather than simply inheriting a mature logistics operation. • Experience within aerospace, defence, space or other regulated technical industries. • Experience moving high value or flight critical hardware. • Knowledge of UK and EU customs processes. • Experience with export controlled goods. • Dangerous goods awareness or certification. • Familiarity with ERP systems such as SAP. • Experience supporting prototype, NPI or low volume manufacturing environments. • Experience coordinating shipments for test campaigns, field operations or remote sites.
Responsibilities
• Own day to day inbound and outbound logistics across Hypersonica’s UK operations. • Coordinate shipments between suppliers, Hypersonica sites, manufacturing partners and test locations. • Work directly with freight forwarders, specialist logistics providers, couriers and transport partners. • Prepare and manage the documentation required for domestic and international shipments, including commercial invoices, packing lists and customs information. • Support movement of goods between the UK and EU, working through customs requirements and resolving issues quickly when shipments are delayed or held. • Understand and apply Incoterms appropriately across supplier and intercompany movements. • Coordinate movement of high value, sensitive and specialist aerospace hardware where timing, handling and traceability matter. • Track critical shipments proactively rather than waiting for somebody to ask where they are. • Build simple, reliable visibility around what is moving, when it is expected and where risk sits. • Work closely with Procurement and suppliers to make sure collections are booked at the right point and documentation is correct before goods move. • Support Manufacturing and AIT with material movements required for builds, integration and test activity. • Coordinate urgent logistics when programme priorities change or hardware needs to move faster than originally planned. • Help establish the processes and systems required to support a rapidly growing UK manufacturing operation. • Maintain accurate shipment and logistics data within our ERP and other internal systems. • Support appropriate handling of export controlled, dangerous or otherwise regulated goods where required. • Work with the wider Supply Chain team in Germany to support cross-border and intercompany movements. • Build strong relationships with logistics partners so that when something genuinely urgent happens, we have people we can rely on. • Travel to suppliers, Hypersonica sites or other locations when required to resolve issues in person.
