Take the Wheel in Road Freight Forwarding!
Where expertise meets opportunity in high-performance logistics
Are you a seasoned road freight forwarding professional ready to accelerate your career? We're looking for a dynamic, detail-driven operator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to keep freight-and relationships-moving seamlessly.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn't just another operations role. You'll be at the heart of the transport network-planning, coordinating, and executing domestic and international road shipments with full operational ownership.
From negotiating with hauliers to solving real-time delivery challenges, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering excellence, every single day.
What You'll Be Driving
Freight Operations Mastery
Plan and coordinate road shipments across the UK and Europe
Work closely with carriers, drivers, and warehouse teams
Keep shipments on track-proactively solving issues before they escalate
Ensure full compliance with transport regulations, ADR, and safety standards
Customer Excellence
Be the trusted point of contact for key clients
Provide accurate updates, ETAs, and solutions
Turn challenges into opportunities to exceed expectations
Commercial Control
Negotiate competitive rates with hauliers and subcontractors
Manage costs and protect margins on every consignment
Approve invoices in line with agreed tariffs
Precision & Compliance
Handle critical documentation (CMR, customs, delivery notes) with accuracy
Ensure compliance with ISO standards and legal requirements
Support import/export procedures when required
Data & Performance
Keep systems updated (TMS, ERP) with real-time accuracy
Monitor KPIs, delivery performance, and cost efficiency
Contribute insights that drive smarter operations
What Success Looks Like
Deliveries that hit targets-on time, every time
Zero compliance issues or documentation errors
Strong margins and cost-efficient operations
Happy, loyal customers who trust your expertise
A reputation for reliability and operational excellence
What You Bring
4-5+ years' experience in road freight forwarding or logistics
Strong knowledge of EU transport regulations, Incoterms, ADR, and customs
Proven ability to juggle multiple shipments under pressure
Confident communicator with sharp problem-solving skills
Experience with TMS/ERP systems and Microsoft Office
Why This Opportunity?
You'll be part of a team that:
Champions operational excellence
Encourages innovation and efficiency
Supports your growth and development
Takes pride in delivering results that matter
Ready to Move Forward?
If you're driven, commercially aware, and ready to make an impact in a high-performance logistics environment, this is your next journey in road freight forwarding.
