Senior logistics coordinator specializing in wet cargo, fleet optimization, and compliance.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Logistics Coordinator (Wet Cargo) focused on delivering safe, compliant, and reliable cross-border logistics. I build and retain strong relationships with customers, depots, clearing agents, and regulatory authorities, and represent the company in negotiations and industry forums.
In my current role, I plan and dispatch fuel tanker routes across local and cross-border lanes while balancing customer SLAs, driver hours, and safety to achieve 98%+ on-time delivery. I optimize fleet performance using telematics to reduce fuel use, idle time, and turnaround delays, while maximizing vehicle utilization.
I’ve also driven major operational results, including managing the movement of 60,000mt Sulphur (+/-1900 trucks) from Beira to Zambia in 3 months, with zero-loss execution in previous shipping operations. Across roles, I mentor drivers, investigate incidents, compile reports for insurance and regulatory bodies, manage border clearances and permits, and maintain accurate trip documentation (PODs, permits, compliance files) with weekly KPI reporting for management decisions.
