I am working with a fresh produce business who are looking to recruit an Import & Export Coordinator to join their team.

This is a varied role within a busy, fast-paced logistics operation, where you will play an important part in ensuring products move smoothly across international borders. You will be responsible for coordinating import and export documentation, managing customs declarations and working closely with freight forwarders, customs agents and internal teams to ensure shipments arrive on time and meet all relevant regulations.

With fresh produce being time-sensitive and subject to strict import and export requirements, this would suit someone who is organised, detail-focused and confident managing customs processes in a fast-moving environment. I have to add that this role is part time with roughly 30 hours a week Monday to Friday.

The Role

Prepare and process import and export documentation, ensuring everything is accurate and completed on time.

Complete customs declarations and ensure shipments meet UK, EU and international customs requirements.

Maintain accurate records of imports, exports and customs clearances.

Liaise with customs brokers, freight forwarders and relevant regulatory authorities.

Ensure shipments comply with phytosanitary requirements and relevant customs regulations.

Monitor transport progress and communicate delivery updates to Customer Services and operational teams.

Support transport planning and scheduling, particularly during busy seasonal periods.

Act as a point of contact between Logistics and Customer Services, providing updates on delays, delivery changes and service issues.

Build strong relationships with hauliers, freight providers, customs agents and suppliers.

Obtain freight quotations, monitor supplier performance and support cost management initiatives.

Maintain accurate transport, customs and compliance records, ensuring internal systems are kept up to date.

Identify opportunities to improve logistics processes and overall efficiency.

What We're Looking For

Previous experience in a logistics, transport, supply chain or freight administration role.

Experience preparing import and export documentation.

A good understanding of customs declarations and import/export procedures.

Experience liaising with customs agents, freight forwarders or external transport providers.

Ideally, experience working with fresh produce, horticultural products or other time-sensitive goods.

Strong organisational and administration skills, with excellent attention to detail.

Confident communication skills and the ability to build relationships with different stakeholders.

Good problem-solving skills and the ability to manage changing priorities.

Comfortable working under pressure in a busy operational environment.

Good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office and Excel.

The Person

You'll be someone who takes ownership of their work and understands the importance of getting the detail right, particularly when dealing with customs documentation and international shipments. You'll be proactive, organised and comfortable working with different people across the business. You'll also need to be adaptable and able to react quickly when things don't go to plan, ensuring products continue to move through the supply chain as smoothly as possible.
