Careers Opportunities

Logistics and supply chain work involves the safe delivery of goods and services to consumers. All types of businesses, big and small, need logistics managers to help with inventory and accounts. A small business may have one person in charge of these duties, while large corporations have entire logistics and supply chain departments.

Some of the more common job roles within this discipline include analyst, inventory control manager, logistics engineer, production manager, purchasing manager, supply chain manager, systems support manager, customer service manager, global logistics manager and operations director. A logistics manager will need to be familiar with various software programs, as that is the most common way to keep track of product movement.

What can I do with this qualification?

Most of our supply chain graduates work in manufacturing or for the government, with other opportunities in scientific and technological fields, transportation, or aerospace. If you’re interested in working abroad or with an international customer base, advanced jobs in logistics often provide such opportunities. In a globalised economy, many logistics companies work with foreign distributors to conduct business.

There’s also the option to work as a consultant. As a consultant, you can work with a variety of companies, both nationally and abroad, offering tips and strategies on how to streamline processes.

Another route to consider into logistics and supply chain is through graduate schemes in this sector, which are offered by a number of third-party logistics companies and retailers. These schemes are sometimes rotational to give you experience of different areas of the business.

Alternative career options

Graduates can typically go on to work in logistics and supply management for a company, although the managerial and leadership skills acquired when studying for a logistics Master’s degree can be applied to senior management job positions in many fields. Graduates can also use the qualification as a stepping-stone into a range of other careers, bearing in mind that relevant experience and/or further study may be required. Some of these roles include:

Business sustainability
Environmental operations
Operations management
Project management
Research and development
Teaching and education
Retail management
