  • Understand vehicle allocation logic for imported goods and the specific requirements for different types of imported goods (e.g. project cargo, chemicals), while effectively coordinating with warehouses for loading operations.
  • Coordinate the entire cross border transportation process, including en-route customs clearance and the preparation and review of related documents.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelors degree in Maritime Studies, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, or a related field

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in shipping operations, ideally with direct experience in Northbound or similar trade lanes

  • In-depth knowledge of vessel operations, cargo handling, and port logistics

  • Strong proficiency in shipping software systems and Microsoft Office tools

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work under pressure and manage multiple priorities

  • Fluent in English (additional languages are a plus)
