About the Job
We have a fantastic opportunity for a freight coordinator to join our Logistics team - working on support for shipping & airfreight.
The priority for this busy, friendly team is to get the right products to the right place at the right time for the right cost. Simplicity is the key to brilliance!
In this new role, you will be responsible for identifying and removing unnecessary costs of goods by providing information and visibility of carriage costs and services. You will look at plans for new releases to identify the best freight carriers and ensure that all shipments are managed to the agreed standard.
Excellent communication skills across all levels are paramount in this role, as you will be responsible for consulting with both internal and external key parties and will attend meetings in the freight manager's absence. You may also be required to assist the Carrier Services Manager during busy times with meetings and workloads.
Accuracy and diligence are required to log all bulk imports and exports for global warehouses. You will also arrange deliveries and collections for worldwide shipments.
You will be able to deal positively with queries and work well with others to achieve the best outcome as this role is the first point of contact in the freight manager's absence and will also support and lead the team when required.
This is a hybrid role. You will typically work 3 days a week onsite at our EMG Distribution Centre, near East Midlands Airport, or at the Lenton Head Office in Nottingham. The other 2 days can be spent working from home. Flexibility around this may be required to accommodate meetings and workload.
