International job opportunities await in logistics sector

As business operations continue to globalize, companies are looking for professionals that understand the new rules of international logistics which are key to successful economic development. At the heart of this global trend is supply chain consulting specialist, Barkawi Management Consultants, which is on a hiring spree, adding more than 20 new employees since the beginning of 2008.
Logistics nowadays is more than moving a product from one location to another.  It involves the design of an integrated, intelligent end-to-end supply and value chain. The logistics field currently offers both new graduates and experienced professionals excellent career opportunities to ride the cutting edge of global business.

As an acknowledged leading player in the niche of supply chain consulting, Barkawi follows a different business philosophy than most of their competitors: The company specializes in implementing previously developed concepts based on benchmarked performance standards.  Following a strategic review and analysis, the consultants will follow through on the implementation, which allows them to see each project through to the end. The fact that consultants can see tangible results for the work they do is a key motivating factor for Barkawi employees to perform at an exceptional level. This strategy means the customer also wins, benefitting from a hands-on approach and dedicated consultants.
“We see ourselves as long-term partner. We don’t leave our customers alone with a concept, but assist and guide them during the whole implementation phase”, commented Karim Barkawi, founder and managing partner of Barkawi Management Consultants, about the company’s approach.

This philosophy is also appreciated by the market. In a recent survey on qualifications and competencies of consulting companies in Germany, Barkawi was voted by high level industry managers as the leading Supply Chain Management consulting company.
Based on the imperative for effective supply chain solutions and Barkawi’s strong market position, the company is constantly growing and hiring consultants. “Our expertise in Supply Chain Management and in After Market Services is frequently requested, especially by internationally operating companies”, says Carena Barkawi, managing partner responsible for human relations. “We offer career opportunities for both experienced professionals and job starters.”
