The Opportunity:
We are working with a well-established, close-knit freight forwarding business where every team member plays a vital role in keeping operations running smoothly. With a team of just 8 people, this is an environment where you are truly valued - not just another number.

Arrange shipments across road, sea, and some air freight
Raise quotes and manage invoicing in line with tariffs
Liaise with customers, agents, and internal teams to ensure smooth shipment flow
Requirements
Strong, hands-on experience in import customs clearance (essential)
Fully conversant with CDS, CNS, Destin8, ORP, and IRP procedures
Experience managing the full customs process end-to-end (essential - candidates without this will not be considered)
Good understanding of import freight forwarding across multiple modes
A team player with a willingness to support and learn other areas of the business
Multifreight system experience would be advantageous
What's on Offer
Salary circa £31,000 - £35,000 depending on experience
Stable, long-term opportunity within a highly experienced team
Supportive environment with training available to expand into other freight modes
One-stage interview process
If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact within a small, supportive team and take ownership of your work, this could be an excellent opportunity.
