The Company

Bulkhaul Limited is a global leader in the transportation of bulk liquids, dry bulk and gases. Established in 1981, we pride ourselves on providing reliable, efficient, and safe logistics solutions to our customers worldwide. Our Middlesbrough headquarters is a dynamic and fast-paced environment where dedication and teamwork drive our success.
Our reputation as a trusted logistics partner is built on the quality of our Operations procedures and personnel, with key support from in-house IT development. The responsive and fast-moving nature of the business demands dynamic support from the IT Department and the timely deployment of robust business-focused solutions.
Bulkhaul operations are centrally controlled from the Middlesbrough headquarters, with staff traditionally drawn from the local area. This has ensured a reliable workforce with long-term commitment to the company.

 

Role Description.

The IT Dept comprises a small but dedicated team able to apply themselves to a broad range of technologies. The business is supported with some off-the-shelf packages, but its competitive advantage comes from in-house developments such as the ERP system and EDI connectivity. These applications are being continually developed and updated to meet changing requirements. Development work covers both maintenance and new solutions, direct contact with wider staff and responsibility all the way to deployment and feedback. We do not chain our staff to one function.
