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:
- At least 3 years' experience coordinating asset logistics for a field service organisation, with constant movement of tooling and equipment via parcel shipping.
- Proven experience with 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.
