Ocean Export Operator

Join a Leading Logistics Team as an Ocean Export Operator. We are looking for an experienced and proactive Ocean Export Operator to join our international logistics team, supporting a key global account. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in sea freight exports who can confidently manage shipments from origin to destination across multiple trade lanes.

While the focus will be on managing full-container load (FCL) and less-than-container load (LCL) ocean export shipments, you will also gain exposure to cross trade movements, providing variety and global scope to your day-to-day responsibilities.

• Manage Ocean Export Shipments: Coordinate full end-to-end export shipments from global origins (e.g., China, Japan, Far East USA) to destinations including the UK, Australia, and South Africa.
• Cross Trade Coordination: Handle shipments where cargo moves directly between international locations without passing through the UK, ensuring compliance and smooth handling.
• Customer & Supplier Liaison: Serve as the main contact for the customer and supply chain partners. Maintain clear, timely communication with overseas agents, carriers, and customers.
• Documentation & Compliance: Prepare and review all necessary export documentation, including bills of lading, commercial invoices, and customs paperwork, ensuring accuracy and compliance with Incoterms.
• Shipment Tracking & Issue Resolution: Monitor cargo movements closely, proactively addressing any delays, documentation issues, or exceptions during transit.
• Cost and Operational Efficiency: Support cost-effective logistics planning and contribute to continuous improvements in operational processes.

• Proven experience in ocean export operations, ideally with cross trade exposure.
• Knowledge of international shipping practices, customs procedures, and Incoterms.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple shipments concurrently.
• Excellent communication and coordination skills with a customer-focused mindset.
• Ability to thrive under pressure and deliver against tight deadlines.

If you are a detail-oriented logistics professional with a passion for ocean freight and global coordination, we would love to hear from you.
