Campaign aims to attract new breed of logistics talent

National Highways is backing a recruitment campaign to boost applications for roles in the logistics sector. 

The Generation Logistics campaign is seeking to attract, identify and develop a new and diverse generation of talent to fill vacancies industry-wide.

The campaign is co-ordinated by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and Logistics UK, in partnership with the DfT. 

National Highways chief executive Nick Harris said: “We connect the countries and regions of the UK, carrying 68% of road freight and 34% of all road traffic comprising four million journeys each day. We have a wide range of exciting career opportunities at all levels, and welcome colleagues as apprentices, graduates and those applying for specific roles. Our people reflect the communities across England that we serve.”

Careers at National Highways include engineers, surveyors, traffic officers and many professions including procurement, IT and roadside facilities.
