About the role

Our Balfour Beatty Highways business has a terrific opportunity for a Logistics Administrator to support the Design Engineering team in delivering projects related to our Lower Thames Crossing project.


The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects. LTC is a new road that will connect Kent and Essex through a tunnel beneath the River Thames and will be the greenest road ever built in the UK - creating six times more green space than road. The reliable new route will almost double road capacity over the river east of London to reduce congestion and give millions of people more choice on where they live, work and spend their valuable time.


As a Logistics Administrator, you will provide administrative and coordination support to the Project Logistics Team, helping to maintain safe, efficient, compliant and sustainable logistics operations across the Lower Thames Crossing, Roads North project.
