Air & Sea Freight Forwarder – Dartford
Salary: £30,000 – £40,000
I’m currently partnering with a well-established freight forwarder based in Dartford, who is looking to add an Air & Sea Freight Forwarder to their operations team. This is a strong opportunity for someone seeking stability, development, and a supportive working environment.
The company is also open to training on one mode (air or sea) if you already have solid experience in the other, making this ideal for forwarders wanting to broaden their skill set.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for managing end-to-end air and/or ocean import and export operations, including:
* Coordinating bookings with airlines, carriers, co-loaders, and hauliers
* Preparing and checking all freight documentation (MAWB/HAWB, MBL/HBL, commercial invoices, customs docs)
* Completing CDS customs entries and ensuring regulatory compliance
* Tracking shipments and maintaining proactive customer communication
* Managing quotations, key account support, job costings, and invoicing
What They’re Looking For
* Ideally 2+ years of experience within UK freight forwarding
* Competence in either air or sea freight operations (dual-modal advantageous)
* Good understanding of Incoterms and UK customs procedures
* Strong organisational skills and ability to prioritise workload
* Confident communicator with a customer-focused approach
Why This Role Stands Out
* £30–40k salary depending on experience
* Based in Dartford with a well-respected, stable forwarder
* Open to cross-training between air and sea
* Supportive operations team and positive culture
* Clear progression opportunities and ongoing professional development
