Logistics Coordinator

At SkySpecs, we're pioneering the future of renewable energy through cutting-edge robotics, and we're looking for a meticulous Logistics Coordinator to keep our field teams flying. Based near Newcastle Airport, you'll be the lynchpin ensuring our drone and crawler equipment reaches technicians across the UK and Europe-exactly when and where it's needed. If you thrive on the detail of international shipping, have a passion for technology, and want to play a vital part in a global business powering the green transition, this is your opportunity.
The Role
You'll join our European Inspection Services team, taking ownership of all equipment logistics for our pan-European pilots and technicians. This is an office-based, hands-on role where you'll configure, maintain, document, and track our advanced robotics fleet. Working closely with project managers, compliance, and our US logistics counterpart, you'll adapt to ever-changing project schedules and be the go-to person for everything from urgent customs fixes to statutory equipment inspections.
Key Responsibilities
* Review project schedules in advance, shipping drone and rover equipment between depots and pilots to meet precise deployment needs.
* React swiftly to last-minute schedule changes, re-routing assets to keep operations running smoothly.
* Prepare and scrutinise all shipping documentation, including carnets, T1/T2 transit documents, customs paperwork, and dangerous goods declarations for lithium batteries.
* Track shipments, troubleshoot customs delays, and resolve errors to minimise disruption to field teams.
* Procure new equipment and parts, assemble and maintain drones, crawlers, cameras, and PPE to engineering guidelines.
* Perform statutory inspections of PPE to ensure LOLER compliance and manage L2/L3 servicing with third-party suppliers.
* Monitor the regional logistics budget, report on costs, and identify efficiencies to improve project margins.
What You'll Need
Essential:
* Experience coordinating asset logistics for a field service organisation, or similar transferable skills
* Experience or knowledge of UK/EU import/export procedures, carnets, and T1/T2 documentation
* Hands-on knowledge of shipping lithium batteries in compliance with IATA/IMDG regulations.
* Practical experience maintaining and tracking field service equipment, robotics, drones, ROVs, or similar inspection technology.
* Proficiency with courier systems (UPS, DHL, etc.), logistics documentation, and KPIs.
* Strong analytical, communication, and organisational skills with the ability to prioritise competing demands independently.
Desirable:
* Ability to speak Spanish or German in addition to fluent English.
* A full UK driving licence for occasional ad-hoc equipment transportation.
What's On Offer
* Salary of £28,000 to £34,000 per annum, dependent on experience.
* Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm working hours.
* Occasional opportunities for travel within Europe.
* The chance to work with advanced robotics in a fast-growing renewable energy company.
