Ocean Export Clerk

Location: Bradford

Salary: Up to £39,000 DOE + Benefits

Experience: 1-2 Years Minimum (Multimodal Import or Export Experience Essential)

The Role

Are you a Freight Forwarder who enjoys the variety of different modes? We are looking for a Multimodal Freight Coordinator to join our Bradford operations. Whether it's an urgent Air Export, a deep-sea Ocean Import, or a European Road movement, you will have full 360-degree ownership of the process from the initial quote to the final delivery.

What You'll Be Doing

• End-to-End Multimodal Management: Handling the full lifecycle of shipments across Air, Sea, and Road (Imports, Exports, or both).
• Carrier Negotiation: Sourcing and negotiating the best rates with airlines, shipping lines, and hauliers.
• Complex Documentation: Preparing and checking all mode-specific paperwork, including MAWBs/HAWBs, Bills of Lading, and CMRs.
• Customs Compliance: Managing entries (Import or Export) and ensuring all HMRC requirements are met across different transport types.
• Proactive Client Care: Being the single point of contact for your accounts-providing multi-option quotes, tracking cargo, and solving logistics puzzles.
• Financial Control: Managing the full financial file, including cost accruals, profit monitoring, and invoicing.

What You Need

• Experience: Minimum 1-2 years of current experience in a Freight Forwarding role handling more than one mode of transport.
• Technical Versatility: A solid understanding of Incoterms and the specific documentation/compliance requirements for Air, Sea, and Road.
• Problem-Solving Skills: The ability to advise clients on the most efficient route and mode for their specific cargo.
• Confidentiality: We understand the local market is tight-knit. Every application is handled with the highest level of professional discretion and care.

Why Apply?

• Total Autonomy: No departmental silos-you manage the whole job regardless of the mode.
• Bradford Hub: Work in a key regional office with a supportive, expert team.
• Skill Development: Enhance your knowledge across all transport modes in a fast-paced environment.
