- 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.
- Coordinate collections, export handling, customs clearance requirements, airline uplifts and final delivery to engineers, airports or maintenance facilities.

- 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.
