Freight & Export Coordinator

Location: Hull
Salary: £25,000–£35,000 per annum (DOE)

Confident with international freight, export paperwork and solving the problems that come with moving goods across borders?

Winsearch Recruitment is looking for someone with an understanding of overseas trade to join a Hull-based operation where freight knowledge, good judgement and customer relationships all count.

You could come from a freight business, an export team within manufacturing, or international distribution. What matters is that you can balance the practical demands of moving goods with the paperwork, people and costs behind them.

• Spot what needs attention. Maintain a clear picture of live international orders, important dates and outstanding actions, and keep work moving when plans change.
• Bring people together. Work with customers, colleagues and external transport contacts to agree practical solutions and avoid unnecessary disruption.
• Get the trade detail right. Make sure export information and supporting freight paperwork are accurate, with the right details available for customs-related requirements.
• Resolve the unexpected. Investigate queries, missing information or delivery issues, taking responsibility for a sensible outcome rather than passing problems along.
• Protect the financial detail. Keep track of transport-related charges and job information so costs and customer billing can be dealt with correctly.
• Keep others in the picture. Provide useful progress information and maintain records that allow the wider team to act with confidence.

• International freight or export experience gained in forwarding, manufacturing, distribution or a related shipping environment.
• A working understanding of export and customs documentation, and what can delay the movement of goods.
• Confidence dealing with several priorities while remaining accurate and responsive when requirements change.
• Experience with customer contact and commercial administration, including working with costs, records and invoices.
• Good IT skills and a practical, organised approach to daily work.

You''ll have a role that combines international trade knowledge with people, problem-solving and responsibility for the detail.

Relevant experience is more important than having one particular job title, and the £25,000–£35,000 salary range reflects different levels of experience.
