Digital Tech
Logistics might be about moving things around in the real world, but all that physical activity – the lorries, planes, ships and boats – is underpinned by a digital world of tech and services, from the apps that customers use to track their delivery through to the automated robotics in the warehouse.
Though Digital Tech might feel like a supporting role, the skills and innovations the discipline drives are vital in moving logistics forward. And the skills required to do so are some of the most valuable on the job market.
You can explore the specific roles below. Check out the prospects, the pay and the requirements – and see if it sounds like you.
