Working closely with customers, overseas agents, shipping lines, airlines and transport providers, you will help ensure shipments are coordinated efficiently, documentation is accurate, and customers receive a professional and responsive service. In this role, you will:

• Coordinate import and export shipments, processing freight documentation and monitoring shipments through to final delivery.
• Liaise with customers, overseas agents, shipping lines, airlines and transport providers to keep freight moving and resolve operational queries.
