North East Transport Services Ltd / NETS Couriers & Freight Forwarding
We are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Business Development & Transport Coordinator to join our team.
This is a varied role combining sales, account development and day-to-day transport operations.
We are actively developing new business and generating sales leads, and we want someone who can take those opportunities forward, build relationships with customers and, importantly, arrange and manage the transport once the work is won.
We are also looking for someone who is confident bringing in their own new accounts and developing them into regular customers.
The role will include:
- Following up new sales leads and enquiries
- Developing your own new customers and accounts
- Cold calling and prospecting for new business
- Building long-term relationships with customers
- Quoting for transport and freight movements
- Booking and arranging transport throughout the UK and Europe
- Liaising with hauliers, couriers, subcontractors and customers
- Monitoring live jobs and keeping customers updated
- Negotiating rates with suppliers and customers
- Looking for opportunities to grow existing accounts
- Working closely with the existing team to ensure jobs run smoothly from enquiry through to delivery
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we are looking for
Ideally, you will already have experience in transport, freight forwarding, logistics, courier services or a similar industry.
We would particularly like to hear from people who understand that good transport sales is about more than winning the first job — it is about looking after the customer, solving problems and turning occasional work into regular business.
You should be:
- Confident on the telephone
- Comfortable approaching new businesses
- Commercially aware
- Able to negotiate and think quickly
- Well organised
- Comfortable handling several live jobs at once
- Able to work independently
- Motivated by winning and developing new business
