What We're Looking For

  • Around 3+ years' experience working in freight forwarding or logistics

  • Solid foundation in air or ocean imports (multimodal training provided)

  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, time-critical environments

  • Previous experience in AOG, events, entertainment or specialist logistics is highly desirable

  • Strong communication and organisational skills

  • A proactive mindset and willingness to learn

  • Must be able to commute reliably to the office and drive if required

What's On Offer

  • £34,000 salary

  • Office-based role with a positive, open-plan working environment

  • Supportive team with a great mix of experience and backgrounds

  • Training across additional freight modes

  • Long-term progression within a specialist logistics sector
