Air Export Coordinator

Air Export Coordinator
Location: Staines / Heathrow corridor (hybrid)
Salary: £35,000 - £39,000
Contract: Permanent, full time
 

The company
Our client is a growing international freight forwarder with a reputation built on two things: genuinely good service and properly modern technology. Customers get real-time visibility of their freight through the company’s own platform. That means ops teams spend less time chasing updates and more time actually solving problems.

It’s a business that invests in its people, promotes from within and still feels close-knit despite its scale. The Heathrow-area airfreight team is busy and growing, and this hire is a direct result of that growth.

The role
You’ll own export airfreight shipments from booking right through to departure. That means accurate documentation, hitting airline cut-offs and keeping customers in the loop before they have to ask.

There’s a commercial side too. You’ll build competitive quotes, pick the right routings and follow up on opportunities. It suits someone who enjoys winning work as much as moving it.

What you’ll be doing

• Running export airfreight shipments end to end: collections, airline bookings, customs clearance and airline delivery

• Preparing and checking export documentation, including HAWBs, MAWBs and pre-alerts

• Tracking shipments against airline cut-offs and fixing issues before they become problems

• Keeping CargoWise accurate so customers have live visibility of their freight

• Building competitive airfreight quotes in WebCargo and following them up

• Completing shipment costing and billing accurately and on time

• Working closely with customers, airlines, hauliers and overseas agents

• Making sure every shipment meets customer SOPs, AEO requirements, and customs and aviation security rules

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience handling export airfreight shipments from start to finish, ideally at a forwarder

• Confidence managing several live shipments and deadlines at once

• Clear, proactive communication with customers

Nice to have

• CargoWise experience, including customs entries

• WebCargo or similar for airfreight quoting

• Understanding of AEO and aviation security standards

• Experience quoting and converting new business

What’s on offer
