Are you an experienced operations professional in the freight forwarding or UK transport sector? We are working on behalf of a leading international logistics provider that is looking to appoint a UK & European Operations Co-ordinator to join their thriving team.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a well-established logistics organisation that is part of a larger group with a turnover in excess of £ million. You’ll be based in a brand-new, modern office and warehouse in Redditch, working alongside a close-knit and enthusiastic team that values collaboration, high standards, and growth.

11. Liaise with transport suppliers for bookings and rate negotiations
12. Collaborate with the sales team on service proposals
13. Process and invoice jobs using Fast Freight software

What We’re Looking For:
