Full job description

Piolax UK is part of the global Piolax Group, supporting the automotive industry with high-quality plastic components and engineering solutions. We are seeking an organised Logistics Coordinator (Freight Forwarding), to join our Logistics team.

You will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of international freight, shipping, import/export processes and supply chain operations, while working alongside an experienced team.

The Role

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys keeping things moving. You will be responsible for coordinating the movement of goods, particularly international shipments, and working closely with freight forwarders, hauliers, suppliers and internal teams to make sure deliveries arrive safely, on time and with the correct documentation.

You don't need to be a senior logistics professional or a customs expert. We're looking for someone with good practical logistics experience, attention to detail and the confidence to communicate with external logistics providers.

What will you be doing?

Arranging and coordinating import and export shipments.
Booking freight with approved freight forwarders and transport providers.
Obtaining and checking freight quotations.
Providing accurate shipping instructions.
Tracking shipments and keeping internal teams updated.
Investigating and resolving delivery delays or transport issues.
Liaising with freight forwarders, hauliers, suppliers and customers.
Preparing and checking shipping documentation, including commercial invoices and packing lists.
Supporting import and export customs processes.
Checking that shipment information is accurate and complete.
Updating our ERP system.
Maintaining accurate records of shipments and transport activities.
Checking freight invoices and identifying any discrepancies.
Working closely with Purchasing, Production, Warehouse and other departments to coordinate deliveries.
Following company procedures and helping to ensure logistics activities remain compliant with relevant requirements.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who is organised, reliable and proactive, with experience in logistics, freight forwarding, shipping or transport.

You will ideally have:

Previous experience in a logistics, freight forwarding, shipping or transport role.
Experience dealing with freight forwarders or transport providers.
Good understanding of import/export shipments.
Strong attention to detail, particularly when dealing with documentation.
Good communication and relationship-building skills.
The ability to manage several shipments and priorities at the same time.
Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and Outlook.
Experience using an ERP or logistics system would be advantageous.
Experience within a manufacturing environment would be beneficial.

We're looking for someone who:

Takes ownership of their work.
Is naturally organised and enjoys keeping things on track.
Notices when something doesn't look right and takes action.
Can confidently pick up the phone and speak to suppliers and freight forwarders.
Doesn't panic when a shipment is delayed or a problem occurs!
Is comfortable working to deadlines.
Has good attention to detail.
Works well as part of a team but can also manage their own workload.
Wants to develop their knowledge and build a career within logistics.

Pay: £29,000.00-£32,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Flexitime
Free parking
On-site parking
Sick pay
Work from home

Work Location: In person
