  • Maintain accurate shipment records and documentation in company systems.
  • Communicate proactively with customers, overseas partners, and colleagues regarding shipment status and requirements.
  • Ensure compliance with company procedures and UK import customs regulations.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to maintaining high levels of customer service.
  • Develop knowledge of customs processes, sea freight, and air freight operations to provide wider operational support as the role progresses.

Skills & Experience

  • Strong communication and customer service skills.
  • Excellent organisational skills with a high level of attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise workload effectively.
  • Confident working with internal teams, customers, and overseas partners.
  • Good IT skills and the ability to learn freight forwarding and customs systems.
  • Willingness to learn and develop within import operations across Road, Sea, and Air Freight.
