Love customs paperwork almost as much as seeing shipments arrive on time?
Our client is a specialist international shipping and forwarding company with over 30 years of experience moving some of the world's most prestigious, rare, and valuable vehicles across the globe. They're now looking for an Import & Export Customs Coordinator to join their friendly and knowledgeable International Shipping team. If the thought of a perfectly completed customs declaration brings you more satisfaction than it probably should, this could be the role for you.
PLEASE NOTE DUE TO THE RURAL LOCATION OF THE JOB YOU WILL NEED TO DRIVE TO GET HERE
The Role
As an Import & Export Customs Coordinator, you'll be the person making sure shipments move smoothly across borders, paperwork stays compliant, and customs officials remain happy. Think of yourself as the person behind the scenes making international logistics look easy (even when it definitely isn't).
