Description
International Freight Coordinator
The Opportunity
We're seeking a full time freight coordinator to join our Supply Chain team. Reporting to the Logistics Manager, you'll oversee and execute our international logistics and support our national freight needs. That includes sourcing and awarding freight, coordinating suppliers, forwarders, warehouses and customers, and making sure our orders arrive when they should. You'll also help the Logistics Manager review our freight providers and improve our logistics procedures. It's a role for someone who enjoys problem-solving, chasing the detail and keeping a lot of moving parts on track.
What We're Looking For
You'll bring advanced knowledge of international freight and domestic freight. A strong working knowledge of Incoterms, sea freight equipment & services and customs and logistics documentation is essential. Knowledge of stainless and performance steels is a bonus, and we'll teach you our products and processes.
What we really value is how you work. We're after someone who is highly organised, persistent and diplomatic, who can juggle multiple jobs at once and uses sound judgement and initiative to see them through. You'll have solid analytical and problem-solving skills, good communication skills and a working knowledge of business software. A basic understanding of workplace health and safety practices is also desirable. If you take ownership of a shipment rather than passing problems along, you'll do well here, and there's genuine room to grow with a national business.
