Location: Llansamlet, Swansea | Full-time | Hands-on operational role | Competitive salary & benefits
Curveball is a Swansea-based multi-channel business spanning wholesale, e-commerce/retail, marketplaces, collectables and games publishing. We are looking for a commercially minded Transport Co-ordinator to own our UK/international transport network. The role is currently at Llansamlet, Swansea and may relocate to another South Wales site. This is not simply booking administration: own carrier relationships and exceptions, understand import/export requirements and balance service, cost, reliability and compliance.
The role
- Plan, select and book UK/international inbound and outbound pallet, parcel, freight and container movements using the right mode, service and cost option.
- Track consignments through to successful delivery and take ownership of delays, failed collections, losses, damage and carrier claims.
- Control freight cost and carrier performance: check invoices, recover discrepancies, maintain reliable cost records and challenge recurring service failures using evidence.
- Own imports/exports through to clearance and delivery, ensuring Incoterms, commodity/HS codes, customs information, licences/restrictions and documentation are accurate; use Finance/specialist advisers where required.
- Maintain the shipment, packaging and supplier evidence needed to support PPT, EPR and relevant PPWR fact-finding/reporting, working with the Warehouse Operations Manager, Purchasing and Finance to resolve gaps.
- Work with Sales, Purchasing, Warehouse and Finance to resolve transport/customs issues and prepare landed-cost estimates/actuals for major inbound shipments.
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.
About you
- Minimum two years' practical transport/logistics experience, including UK imports/exports and work with freight forwarders/customs agents.
- Prior exposure to packaging/environmental compliance reporting or data collection is important; direct PPT, EPR and/or PPWR experience is strongly advantageous.
- Working knowledge of Incoterms 2020, commodity/HS codes and standard import/export documentation, with awareness of customs valuation, duty/import VAT and when specialist advice is needed.
- Strong organisational skills and confidence using ERP/WMS systems, Microsoft Office and operational data to manage multiple live priorities, exceptions and deadlines.
- Commercial awareness, curiosity and initiative: able to balance service, reliability and cost, challenge existing arrangements and follow material issues through to resolution.
- Strong communication and relationship-management skills with carriers, suppliers and internal teams, plus excellent attention to detail.
