Full-time, career-defining opportunity. About the Role as a Freight Agent: I'm working with an exciting Freight Forwarding company that's the perfect mix of new and established. My client is on the hunt for a dynamic, entrepreneurial individual to join their team, a self-starter who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and learn the ropes from an industry veteran with over 30 years of global freight-forwarding expertise. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to grow, contribute, and truly make an impact. If you've got ideas, ambition, and the drive to help build something extraordinary, this could be your calling. What My Client is Looking For from a Freight Agent: Are you ticking these boxes? A little black book of local and UK contacts Big ideas to help improve processes, efficiency, and the company itself. The willingness to get your hands dirty (metaphorically or literally). A self-starter who can work independently but knows when to collaborate. Confidence to take initiative and speak up. Strong computer skills (bonus points if you've used Logitude). An understanding of international freight and logistics or the drive to learn quickly. Your Responsibilities: Master Coordinator:
Oversee shipments by air, sea, road, and courier with precision and care. Supplier Liaison:
Build and maintain great relationships with shipping lanes, airlines, trucking firms, and other freight suppliers. Document Wizard:
Produce and manage shipping documents and labels like a pro. Warehouse Helper:
Pitch in with general warehousing duties when needed because teamwork is key. Freight Detective:
Keep clients updated with shipment progress and resolve issues as they arise. Who My Client is Looking For: This role is perfect for someone with around a year of freight-forwarding experience, ready to grow and expand their skills. If you're serious about a long-term career in the logistics industry and want to learn more than just the basics, this is your chance. My client wants someone with the drive to help build their company into a logistics empire. The Perks: Onsite parking (a small luxury in today's world). Pension scheme to secure your future. Private medical care (after three years of service). 29 days of holiday + bank holidays (plenty of time for rest and adventure). Why You Should Apply: This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to work closely with an industry expert, grow your skills, and be a part of something from the ground up. My client values innovation, ambition, and a proactive mindset. About Us: We are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive community.
