Freight forwarding that believes logistics doesnt have to be boring.

We connect cargo with continents, planes with pallets, and sometimes customers with their long-lost shipments (just kiddingmostly).

The Role

From quoting and booking to tracking and troubleshooting, youll be the glue that keeps shipments moving and customers happy.

What Youll Do

  • Coordinate air and sea freight shipments from start to finish the whole journey, minus the jet lag.
  • Prepare accurate quotes, bookings and shipping documentation, ensuring all the Ts are crossed and B/Ls, AWBs and paperwork are in order.
  • Liaise with airlines, shipping lines, hauliers, agents and customers to make sure everything moves when and where it should.
  • Track shipments and keep customers updated throughout the journey.
  • Problem-solve like a pro when things go sideways because, occasionally, they do.
  • Build strong customer relationships through clear, proactive communication.
  • Stay on top of customs requirements, international shipping regulations and industry procedures.
  • Work closely with the wider team to keep operations running smoothly.

Who You Are

  • You have experience in freight forwarding, ideally across Air & Sea.
  • You speak fluent logistics words like HAWB, ETA, B/L, demurrage and customs clearance dont scare you.
  • Youre organised, proactive and calm under pressure or at least very good at looking like you are.
  • Youre confident communicating with customers, suppliers and overseas partners.
  • You can multitask, troubleshoot and keep things moving when plans change.
  • Youre a team player with a good sense of humour and a genuine interest in the freight industry.

Whats In It for You?

  • A dynamic, friendly team that actually supports each other.
  • Opportunities to grow, develop and learn.
  • A varied role where no two days are quite the same.
  • Competitive salary and benefits.
  • Good coffee, good people and a sense of humour very much encouraged.

Apply now because freight doesnt forward itself!
