Freight Forwarder - European Road Freight £32,000 to £37,000 DOE, Full-time, permanent, office-based
Same-day quotes. Dedicated loads. Tight timings. If that is the work you enjoy, read on.
We are C4 Logistics. We move urgent and high-value freight across the UK and mainland Europe by road and air, with offices in the UK, France and Ireland. We are adding an experienced Freight Forwarder to our expedited operations desk in Coventry.
This is a live forwarding role. You will quote, buy and run your own shipments from enquiry to delivery. It is not a warehousing or transport admin position.
What you'll do
- Take customer enquiries by phone and email for dedicated, part load, full load and expedited shipments across Europe and the UK
- Source capacity and negotiate rates with our European subcontractor network
- Quote, book and manage each shipment end to end: documentation, customs coordination and customer updates
- Solve problems as they happen, often against the clock
What you'll bring
- At least 2 years in European road freight forwarding. You have quoted, booked and managed European road shipments yourself, and you know FTL, part loads and groupage
- Working knowledge of UK and EU customs processes, Incoterms and standard forwarding documents
- Confidence negotiating with carriers and staying clear with customers under pressure
- The ability to run several live shipments at once without losing track
Hours
Expedited freight does not stop at 5pm, so the desk runs a two-week rotation:
Week 1: Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 16:00
Week 2: Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 19:00
No weekends. No on-call.
What we offer
- £32,000 - £37,000 basic, depending on experience
- 22 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays
- Company pension
- Cycle-to-work scheme
- Free on-site parking and casual dress
- In-house customs specialists to support you
- An established team and varied expedited work across Europe
