Robert Svikart
@robertsvikart
Logistics and supply chain coordinator specializing in international transport, fleet operations, and KPI-driven process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced logistics, operations, and supply chain professional focused on extensive international transport coordination, logistics operations, fleet management, and strong stakeholder communication. I’m known for coordinating complex operational activities while providing administrative support that keeps movements accurate and on time.
In my recent work, I’m supporting business development and project coordination for the SHK & Electrical Sector (Germany) through activities like identifying and qualifying customers, coordinating communications with clients and partners, preparing commercial offers, and maintaining CRM records. Earlier, I handled assistant vehicle fleet operations, managed maintenance and roadside assistance coordination, and organized replacement vehicles and rental solutions.
I’ve also led transport operations end-to-end—coordinating regional and long-distance transport across Austria, managing transport planning and route optimization, monitoring operational performance with KPI monitoring & reporting, and ensuring documentation accuracy and compliance. As Depot Manager and Transport Manager, I managed daily operations, personnel and resources, carrier coordination, and corrective actions to protect service quality.
My foundation includes translation and project support through EBRD and international infrastructure work, plus volunteer leadership for EU-funded youth, educational, and cultural projects. I bring problem-solving and root cause analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to work effectively in remote and multicultural teams; I’m also open to remote and hybrid positions.
