Think about a bottle of wine... Graduate jobs in logistics and transport
Think about a bottle of wine. Think about the job roles involved in the supply chain from vines in the field to putting the bottle into the hands of the end purchaser. Think of all the roles involved, from design to marketing, electronics, engineering, transport, IT, HR, accounting and many, many more. This is supply chain, this is logistics, this is transport.
Think in the same terms about what it takes to provide buses, trains, planes and ships and get the people and goods successfully onto them and from A to B. This is transport. The same wide range of career opportunities are available.
Our Logistics & Transport Week, 6th-10th February, will open your eyes to the wide and varied opportunities for finalists within what we loosely refer to as Logistics, Transport and Supply Chain. Featuring international and local companies all eager to employ you, this is not just about moving pallets around warehouses.
