Freight forwarding that believes logistics doesn’t have to be boring.
We connect cargo with continents, planes with pallets, and sometimes customers with their long-lost shipments (just kidding… mostly).
The Role
We’re looking for a confident Freight Forwarder All-Rounder who can juggle Air & Sea freight without breaking a sweat — or at least without losing their sense of humour.
From quoting and booking to tracking and troubleshooting, you’ll be the glue that keeps shipments moving and customers happy.
What You’ll 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 T’s 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 don’t scare you.
* You’re organised, proactive and calm under pressure — or at least very good at looking like you are.
* You’re confident communicating with customers, suppliers and overseas partners.
* You can multitask, troubleshoot and keep things moving when plans change.
* You’re a team player with a good sense of humour and a genuine interest in the freight industry.
What’s 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.
If you’re ready to take logistics to the next level — and don’t mind occasionally chasing a container — we’d love to hear from you.
