Location: Liverpool
Salary: Up to £38,000 DOE + Benefits
Experience: 1–2 Years Ocean Freight (Forwarding)
We’re looking for a Sea Freight professional who wants to own their desk. In this role, you aren’t just "passing files"—you are the expert in charge of the shipment from the second the pre-alert hits your inbox to the moment the container is delivered.
The Day-to-Day:
*
End-to-End Imports: Manage LCL/FCL movements from global origins (Asia/USA) to UK door.
*
Vessel & Port Control: Monitor arrivals, manage CNS/Destin8, and coordinate with shipping lines for seamless release.
*
Customs Mastery: File precise import entries via CDS, manage duty/VAT calculations, and handle deferment accounts.
*
The Last Mile: Partner with hauliers to ensure timely de-vanning and final delivery.
*
Client Relationship: Be the dedicated "go-to" for your accounts—quoting, tracking, and proactive problem-solving.
*
Commercial Polish: Own your file's P&L—accurate cost accruals and prompt invoicing.
What You’ll Bring:
*
Proven Track Record: At least 1–2 years in a Sea Freight Forwarding import environment.
*
Technical DNA: A rock-solid understanding of Incoterms, Bills of Lading, and UK Customs (CDS).
*
Local Expertise: Familiarity with Liverpool port operations is a massive plus.
*
The "Start-to-Finish" Mindset: You take pride in seeing a job through to completion.
Why Make the Move?
*
Total Ownership: No departmental hand-offs. You manage the full lifecycle.
*
Strategic Hub: Work at the heart of one of the UK’s most vital maritime gateways.
*
Discretion Guaranteed: We know the Liverpool market is small. We handle every application with 100% confidentiality
