Missions: Logisticien

The logisticien performs essential tasks to ensure the efficiency and smooth operation of the supply chain. Here are their main responsibilities in bullet-point form:
  • Flow planning and coordination: Organize and oversee all logistics operations, from receiving products to sending them out.
  • Stock management: Optimize inventory to prevent shortages and reduce storage costs.
  • Order preparation: Ensure orders are prepared and delivered within set deadlines.
  • Performance monitoring: Implement and analyze performance indicators to improve processes and identify areas for optimization.
  • Collaboration with partners: Work closely with suppliers, carriers, and other company departments to ensure consistency and operational efficiency.
  • Compliance with standards: Adhere to safety, quality, and regulatory standards in the logistics sector.
Through these tasks, the logisticien plays a strategic role in enhancing the company’s competitiveness by continually improving operational performance.

Skills and training

It is often recommended to have a Bac+2 or Bac+3 qualification in transport, logistics, or supply chain to become a logisticien. For example, the BTS Gestion des Transports et Logistique Associée (GTLA) or the DUT Gestion Logistique et Transport (GLT) are good starting points for accessing the profession. Some professionals choose to continue their studies up to Bac+5, notably at business schools or universities, to specialize further and qualify for managerial positions. Specialized supply chain certifications (such as APICS) can also bolster a logisticien’s profile and serve as evidence of their expertise.

Logisticien: possible career evolutions

As logisticiens gain experience and acquire additional skills, they have many opportunities for professional advancement. Here are a few potential paths:
  • Logistics manager: Coordinate a team and manage overall logistics operations, with an increased focus on optimizing processes.
  • Supply chain manager: Oversee the entire supply chain, including flow coordination, stock management, and relationships with external partners.
  • Warehouse or logistics site director: Supervise an entire site, including strategic planning, resource management, and the implementation of continuous improvement policies.
  • Logistics consultant: Provide specialized expertise to optimize logistics operations in various companies, working on consulting and auditing projects.
  • Trainer or technical expert: Share logistics expertise by training teams and implementing innovative solutions adapted to market changes.
These pathways enable logistics professionals to expand their skill sets and take on more responsibility, thus enhancing their career trajectory while contributing to overall company efficiency.

Logisticien salary

At the start of their career, a logisticien often earns the French minimum wage (SMIC), which is approximately €1,801.80 gross per month (around €1,426.30 net). However, as they gain experience, develop new skills, and assume greater responsibilities, there are rapid opportunities for salary progression. Moving into supervisory or coordination roles within the supply chain is frequently accompanied by a substantial increase in compensation. This career development is typically supported by further training and specialization in process optimization, potentially leading to wages well above the initial level. Additional benefits such as performance-related bonuses are also common, reflecting the strategic importance of this profession in optimizing flows and maintaining a competitive edge.

What Is a logisticien's work environment?

A logisticien generally operates in a hybrid setting that is both administrative and operational. Depending on the company’s requirements, they may spend time in warehouses supervising the reception, storage, and dispatch of goods, then move to offices to analyze flows, plan operations, and use dedicated management tools (ERP, WMS, TMS). They may also visit production sites to ensure the smooth supply of raw materials and coordinate manufacturing schedules with delivery deadlines. Lastly, they closely collaborate with carriers and may travel to negotiate transportation terms, monitor the quality of deliveries, and implement necessary safety procedures.
