Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Team Recruitment (Oxford) Limited Full-time NZD 50,000 - NZD 80,000/year

We’re looking for an experienced freight forwarding professional to join a busy freight team.

What really stands out about this role is the variety. You’ll be managing a diverse mix of import and export shipments, customers, overseas offices and service providers, so there’s always something different happening and plenty to keep you busy.

The team is a big part of the appeal too. It’s a busy environment, but there’s a great team culture and plenty of support.

What’s in it for you?

There’s a strong overall package on offer, with a company that genuinely values good performance and provides a supportive and engaging environment to work in.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work across a broad range of customers, commodities and freight movements, with no two days likely to be exactly the same.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be responsible for managing import shipments from booking through to delivery, along with a smaller volume of export shipments, across both air and sea freight.

You’ll have solid experience in freight forwarding, with a good understanding of import operations.
