About the role

Our client is looking for someone at the start of their career who's keen to build a future in freight and logistics. No industry experience is needed — everything will be taught from day one.

  • Preparing customer quotations

  • Coordinating deliveries through both an in-house transport network and external providers

  • Supporting the wider team with general operational and admin tasks

  • Building your knowledge of how global freight and logistics works

  • Comfortable using Outlook and writing professional emails

  • A competent typist with good attention to detail

  • Familiar with Excel basics and confident researching online

  • A strong communicator — both written and on the phone

  • Organised, punctual, and able to juggle several tasks at once
