Freight forwarding that believes logistics doesn’t have to be boring.
We connect cargo with continents, planes with pallets, and sometimes customers with their long-lost shipments (just kidding… mostly).
The Role
We’re looking for a confident Freight Forwarder All-Rounder who can juggle Air & Sea freight without breaking a sweat — or at least without losing their sense of humour.
From quoting and booking to tracking and troubleshooting, you’ll be the glue that keeps shipments moving and customers happy.
What You’ll Do
- Coordinate air and sea freight shipments from start to finish — the whole journey, minus the jet lag.
- Prepare accurate quotes, bookings and shipping documentation, ensuring all the T’s are crossed and B/Ls, AWBs and paperwork are in order.
- Liaise with airlines, shipping lines, hauliers, agents and customers to make sure everything moves when and where it should.
- Track shipments and keep customers updated throughout the journey.
- Problem-solve like a pro when things go sideways — because, occasionally, they do.
- Build strong customer relationships through clear, proactive communication.
- Stay on top of customs requirements, international shipping regulations and industry procedures.
- Work closely with the wider team to keep operations running smoothly.
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.
Who You Are
- Experience in freight forwarding, ideally across Air & Sea.
- Fluent in logistics — words like HAWB, ETA, B/L, demurrage and customs clearance don’t scare you.
- Organised, proactive and calm under pressure — or at least very good at looking like you are.
- Confident in communicating with customers, suppliers and overseas partners.
- Ability to multitask, troubleshoot and keep things moving when plans change.
- A team player with a good sense of humour and a genuine interest in the freight industry.

- Opportunities to grow, develop and learn.

- Competitive salary and benefits.
- Good coffee, good people and a sense of humour very much encouraged.
If you’re ready to take logistics to the next level — and don’t mind occasionally chasing a container — we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now — because freight doesn’t forward itself!
