Entry Level Logistics Planner Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level logistics planner job?
Focus on coursework, internships, or part-time work that shows you can coordinate shipments, manage timelines, or work with inventory systems. Employers at this level look for familiarity with spreadsheets or transportation management software, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate clearly with carriers and warehouse teams. A supply chain or operations internship gives you a real edge over candidates without hands-on exposure.
Which companies hire entry level logistics planners?
Companies hiring entry level logistics planners right now include Airgas, Akraya, and Stevens Transport, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. At this level, manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, and large retailers tend to post the most openings, as they need junior planners to support high-volume supply chain operations.
Are there remote entry level logistics planner jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles lean on-site or hybrid given the hands-on nature of logistics coordination. About 29% of entry level logistics planner openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, so candidates who prefer flexibility should filter specifically for those work settings when searching current listings.
Are these new grad logistics planner jobs?
Yes. These listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior logistics planner roles alongside broader entry level openings. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward the requirement, or states that a relevant degree in supply chain, business, or operations is sufficient to apply.
Which industries hire the most entry level logistics planners?
Entry Level logistics planner roles concentrate in Chemicals & Materials, Energy, and Airlines, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive the most junior hiring because their supply chains depend on coordinating large volumes of inventory, freight, and vendor relationships that require dedicated planning support even at the entry level.
