Location: Stanford-Le-Hope

The Opportunity:

We are working with a well-established, close-knit freight forwarding business where every team member plays a vital role in keeping operations running smoothly. With a team of just 8 people, this is an environment where you are truly valued - not just another number.

The team is split between defence and general freight, and this position sits within the general freight division. The business prides itself on long-term staff retention, and offering long term career prospects.

This is a hands-on, end-to-end role with the opportunity to develop further across additional modes of freight for those keen to broaden their skillset.

Manage the full end-to-end import process

Complete 5-10 customs clearances per day

Handle import customs entries for road and sea freight

Work with systems including CDS, CNS, Destin8, ORP and IRP procedures

Arrange shipments across road, sea, and some air freight

Raise quotes and manage invoicing in line with tariffs

Liaise with customers, agents, and internal teams to ensure smooth shipment flow

Requirements

Strong, hands-on experience in import customs clearance (essential)

Fully conversant with CDS, CNS, Destin8, ORP, and IRP procedures

Experience managing the full customs process end-to-end (essential - candidates without this will not be considered)

Good understanding of import freight forwarding across multiple modes

A team player with a willingness to support and learn other areas of the business

Multifreight system experience would be advantageous

What's on Offer

Salary circa £31,000 - £35,000 depending on experience

Stable, long-term opportunity within a highly experienced team

Supportive environment with training available to expand into other freight modes

One-stage interview process

If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact within a small, supportive team and take ownership of your work, this could be an excellent opportunity.
