Sector: Logistics & Freight
Award-Winning UK Logistics Company (Great Place to Work 2024)
I'm currently recruiting on behalf of a leading, UK-wide logistics company that continues to experience exceptional growth across its multiple sites. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Air Freight Imports Coordinator to join a well-established team at their Solihull site.
The business was proudly awarded "Great Place to Work" status in October 2024-something they've worked hard to achieve by fostering a genuinely supportive, forward-thinking, and people-first culture.
The Opportunity:
As an Air Freight Imports Coordinator, you'll play a crucial role in managing the day-to-day coordination of air import shipments. From customs clearance to client communication, you'll be working in a fast-paced, professional environment where attention to detail and great service matter.
Responsibilities Include:
- Coordinating end-to-end air import shipments from origin to delivery
- Managing customs clearance documentation and ensuring full HMRC compliance
- Liaising with overseas agents, airlines, and internal teams
- Providing regular client updates and maintaining service standards
- Proactively resolving any delays or shipment issues
- Keeping accurate records and data within internal freight systems
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- Solid experience in air freight imports is essential
- Strong understanding of UK customs procedures and documentation
- Comfortable handling fast-paced logistics operations
- Proficient communicator and confident liaising with global partners
- Familiarity with freight systems such as ASM or CargoWise (preferred)
Why This Role Stands Out:
This company not only offers stability and clear progression, but also a package of perks that goes far beyond the basics:
- Twice-Yearly Bonus Scheme
- 22-25 Days Holiday (depending on service)
- Health Care Cash Plan
- Retail Discounter Cash Plan
- Two Monthly Employee Awards
- Free On-Site Electric Vehicle Charging
- Fully Paid Annual Summer and Christmas Company Events
- Regular Team Socials
- Quarterly Anonymous Employee Engagement Surveys - Influence workplace improvements
- "Great Place to Work" Accreditation
