Logistics Administrator in Grays

Our Balfour Beatty Highways business has a terrific opportunity for a Logistics Administrator to support the construction teams 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.
