Ocean Export Operator

Position: Ocean Export Operator

Location: Wythenshawe

Salary: up to £36,000

Hours: Monday-Friday, 08:30-17:00

Are you an experienced Ocean Export Operator looking for your next move with a global freight forwarding business?

This could be a great opportunity to join an established international forwarding group in a role focused primarily on ocean export operations across the Middle East and other global trade lanes.

You'll be joining a busy and well-established operation where you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of shipments from start to finish, working with international customers, overseas offices, agents and carriers.

The Role

As an Ocean Export Operator, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day management of ocean export shipments, ensuring everything runs smoothly from booking through to final departure.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing end-to-end ocean export shipments
• Handling bookings with shipping lines and overseas agents
• Preparing and checking export documentation
• Coordinating with customers, suppliers, carriers and international offices
• Monitoring shipment progress and keeping customers updated
• Managing schedules, cut-offs and deadlines
• Dealing with any operational issues and providing solutions
• Ensuring shipments are processed accurately and efficiently
• Working predominantly across Middle East trade lanes, alongside wider global export movements

About You

We're looking for someone with solid experience within ocean freight forwarding, ideally with a strong understanding of export operations.

You'll need to be confident managing your own workload, communicating with customers and overseas partners, and dealing with the pressures of a busy operational environment.

Experience across Middle East trade lanes would be particularly advantageous, although wider ocean export experience will also be considered.

Why Join?

This is more than just an Ocean Export Operator position. The business is keen to develop people internally and there are wider opportunities to progress into a senior or leadership position as you develop within the operation.

You'll have the opportunity to build your international freight knowledge, take on additional responsibility and develop towards a future leadership role.
