With a global network of overseas partners and a friendly, experienced Operations team, they’re looking for a Logistics Co-ordinator to take ownership of shipments from booking through to final delivery.

About You

We're looking for someone with practical experience coordinating the movement of goods within freight forwarding, shipping, transport, customs or a similar logistics environment.

For example, experience within courier, express, parcel or third-party logistics (3PL) businesses, or the whisky, drinks, food and wider export industries, could provide highly transferable skills.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience coordinating the movement of goods within freight forwarding, shipping, transport, customs or a similar logistics role
• A working knowledge of import/export documentation
• Strong customer service and written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent organisation, accuracy and numerical skills
• Confidence using Microsoft Office
• Customs clearance experience would be beneficial
• Experience using freight forwarding systems would be advantageous, but isn't essential as training will be provided

• £28,000–£32,000 salary, depending on experience
• Hybrid working
• Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm
• 34 days' holiday
• Company pension
• Private medical insurance
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• Bonus Scheme
• Full training and a clear opportunity to develop your career within international freight

Join an experienced and collaborative Operations team within an established, independent freight forwarding business!
