Know your FCL from your LCL? Can you get an import shipment through customs without breaking into a cold sweat? Then we should probably talk.
We’re looking for an experienced Import Operator/Freight Forwarder to join a busy but bubbly office. You’ll be managing imports from start to finish, keeping customers updated, dealing with shipping lines, hauliers and overseas agents — and ideally knowing your way around customs entries too.
What you’ll be doing:
* Managing import shipments from arrival to final delivery
* Handling FCL/LCL documentation and keeping paperwork shipshape
* Liaising with shipping lines, hauliers, overseas agents and customers
* Completing or coordinating customs clearance and entries
* Tracking shipments and solving the inevitable “where is my container?” questions
* Dealing with delays, amendments and the occasional shipping-line curveball
* Keeping customers informed without needing to be chased every five minutes
* Invoicing, checking costs and generally making sure the numbers add up
What we’re looking for:
* Experience in import freight forwarding
* Good understanding of sea freight and import processes
* Customs experience is highly desirable
* Comfortable dealing with customers, suppliers and transport providers
* Organised, commercially aware and able to juggle multiple shipments without losing the plot
* Someone who knows that “ETA” isn't just another three-letter acronym to throw into an emailBefore You Apply
