About the role
Ready to own the export desk? Gebrüder Weiss is looking for an experienced Freight Forwarding Operator to manage air and sea freight exports from our Adelaide office in Woodville.

This isn’t a local desk role. You’ll look after export shipments for customers right across Australia, from the first booking through to the final invoice. You’ll work closely with our customers, our overseas offices, airlines, shipping lines and consolidators. Your job is to make sure every shipment leaves on time, fully compliant and documented correctly the first time.

What you’ll do

- Register, book and monitor export air and sea freight jobs, including coastal shipments between Australian ports

- Receive Shipper’s Letters of Instruction (SLIs), source routings, and book and confirm space with airlines, shipping lines, consolidators and co-loaders

- Arrange cargo collection and delivery to air and container terminals and consolidation facilities, including terminal pre-receival advice (PRA)

- Lodge export declarations to obtain Export Declaration Numbers (EDNs), and complete export cargo reporting in the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) on time

- Prepare and issue master and house air waybills (MAWB/HAWB) and bills of lading (MBL/HBL), and submit accurate shipping instructions to carriers

- Confirm air cargo has been security examined by a Regulated Air Cargo Agent (RACA) or comes from a Known Consignor, and that Verified Gross Mass (VGM) is declared for sea containers

- Identify dangerous goods, permit-controlled goods and sanctioned destinations, and raise them before booking

- Send accurate, on-time pre-alerts to overseas offices and agents





- Keep customers informed and deal with delays and rollovers before they become problems

- Approve supplier invoices, post costs and invoice shipments accurately in CargoWise

- Gain exposure to imports as part of a broad, end-to-end operations team

About you

- At least 2 years’ hands-on international freight forwarding experience, ideally in sea and air exports

- Demonstrated experience with CargoWise

- Solid working knowledge of EDNs, PRAs, ICS reporting and export documentation

- Understanding of export filing requirements for overseas destinations

- Intermediate skills in Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook

- Transparent communication, strong attention to detail, and the ability to perform under tight cut-offs

- Full working rights in Australia

Why Gebrüder Weiss

- Hybrid working arrangement from our Woodville office

- Ownership of a national export portfolio, a step up from a single-branch desk

- A global network of more than 180 locations

- Competitive salary package and access to a suite of professional development tools
