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
If you have any questions, reach out to General Manager Road Laura Woolley at or call
If you're curious, here's how we hire at LEMAN.
Get excited about:
Time to recharge: 25 days of holiday (plus bank holidays) – because life outside work matters too.
Fuel for the day: Free daily wellbeing breakfast to get you started on the right foot.
Stay active: Discounted gym membership to keep both body and mind in shape.
Peace of mind: A company pension scheme and a cash back health plan – because looking after your future (and your health) is important.
Good company: Regular company and social events – we actually like hanging out together.
Bring a friend: Our refer-a-friend scheme rewards you for introducing great people to LEMAN.
