*Looking for a new route? This one starts in Normanton.
At LEMAN, we're all about moving goods throughout Europe – smoothly and efficiently. Our team in
Normanton, West Yorkshire
, plays a big part in making that happen. Right now, we're looking for a
Freight Forwarding Assistant (12-month contract)*
to join us.
You'll be working with a variety of customers, planning their shipments in the most cost-effective way while keeping service levels top-notch. No two days are the same – and that's half the fun.
What You'll Be Doing
* Accept and check customer bookings
* Update customer portals
* Plan and coordinate road freight shipments
* Be the main contact for customers – handling inquiries, fixing issues, and keeping relationships strong
* Take care of administration tasks for International Transport
* Check and approve supplier invoices
* Allocate supplier costs in our TMS system
* Any other ad hoc duties
What we hope you'll bring
* Great customer service skills
* Confidence with logistics software and Microsoft Office packages
* Experience in the logistics and transportation industry (an advantage, not a dealbreaker)
We think it's a match if...
You stay calm under pressure, see solutions where others see problems, and like working in a team where things move quickly (and sometimes sideways). You're motivated by solving logistical puzzles, proud of delivering great service, and ready to pick up new skills along the way.
Enough about us – we want to hear about you
