- Identify and secure the most effective transport solutions, including Next Flight Out (NFO), on-board courier (hand-carry), express services, charters, and dedicated road transport.
- Work within a global network to coordinate collections, export handling, customs clearance requirements, airline uplifts, and final delivery to engineers, airports, or maintenance facilities.
- Take ownership of shipment tracking and monitoring, proactively managing exceptions and resolving disruptions to maintain service continuity.
- Identify alternative solutions and communicate recommendations quickly to customers and stakeholders when delays occur.
- Prepare and verify all import and export documentation, ensuring compliance with customs regulations, export controls, and industry requirements relating to highly controlled aerospace components.
- Work closely with suppliers, OEMs, freight partners, warehouses, and operational teams to confirm stock availability, dispatch readiness, and transit plans, ensuring critical shipments move without delay.
- Maintain continuous communication with customers and internal stakeholders, providing accurate updates, managing expectations, and delivering exceptional service in high-pressure situations.
