Major Project Logistics Manager - #2193920

Major Project Logistics Manager – Glasgow

Working for a Tier 1 contractor delivering a major Infrastructure project, joining in the Pre-Construction phase to build out the site and plant logistics over a 90mile radius.

Location: Glasgow

Salary: £75,000 - £80,000 basic + Car or Allowance + Bonus + Package

The Resolute Group has been retained to recruit an experienced Logistics Manager for a major civil engineering infrastructure project spanning the corridor between Glasgow and Carlisle.

Unlike traditional site-based roles focused on a single compound, this position addresses the complexities of large-scale, linear logistics across significant distances and challenging Scottish terrain. Operating within the pre-construction phase, you will work directly alongside the Project Director to design, build, and implement a comprehensive logistics strategy before works commence on site.

Key Responsibilities

• Pre-Construction Strategy: Develop a realistic, end-to-end logistics management plan from the ground up, ensuring all operational strategies are locked in prior to the project go-live date.
• Risk & Opportunity Management: Identify logistical risks and operational opportunities early, building a programme that mitigates potential delays and ensures smooth project delivery.
• Client Engagement: Collaborate closely with the client during pre-construction to align on logistics programmes, risk mitigation, and delivery schedules.
• Route & Terrain Planning: Plan plant access, temporary access roads, and site clearance across difficult and remote terrain.
• Infrastructure & Workforce Logistics: Oversee the strategic planning for multiple site compounds, temporary workforce accommodation, and broad workforce mobilisation.
• Stakeholder & Community Impact: Manage local road access plans and coordinate strategies to minimise disruption to local communities along the route.

Candidate Profile

• Proven track record as a Logistics Manager on major civil engineering, infrastructure, or linear projects (e.g., rail, highways, utilities, or renewables).
• Strong pre-construction experience, with the ability to create a robust logistics strategy from a blank canvas rather than inheriting an existing plan.
• Experienced in managing complex challenges over large geographical areas, including difficult terrain, land access, and heavy plant movement.

Qualifications / Experience:

• Major project experience in a logistics function, developing a complex logistic plan prior to a project going live.
• Must be able to live in the region between Glasgow and Carlise.

You must be authorised to work in the UK. Sponsorship is an option id you have worked on major, complex projects pervious in a Logistics function. Very interested in speaking to people with this experience and keen to return to the UK.
