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.

The team is split between defence and general freight, and this position sits within the general freight division. The business prides itself on long-term staff retention, and offering long term career prospects.

This is a hands-on, end-to-end role with the opportunity to develop further across additional modes of freight for those keen to broaden their skillset.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full end-to-end import process

• Complete 5-10 customs clearances per day

• Handle import customs entries for road and sea freight

• Work with systems including CDS, CNS, Destin8, ORP and IRP procedures

• 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.
