We’re looking for a Bookings Operative to join our Operations team. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to build their experience within the fast‑paced world of transport and logistics – and previous logistics experience isn’t essential.

- Preparing and sending customer communications and transport orders
- Liaising professionally with customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other partners
- Maintaining accurate records and documentation for transport movements
- Supporting the administration of customs‑related shipments
- Communicating with shippers to obtain the paperwork required for customs clearance
- Forwarding documentation to the appropriate customs brokers
- Tracking customs‑related jobs and keeping information up to date
- Checking that external broker costs are accurately recorded within our systems
- Helping ensure our transport activities are administered efficiently, accurately and compliantly
What are we looking for?
You don’t need to already be a logistics expert – we’re much more interested in finding someone with the right attitude and approach.
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You
- Have excellent attention to detail and accuracy
- Are confident using computers and learning new systems
- Are organised and able to manage priorities
- Communicate clearly and professionally

Why logistics?
Logistics is all about making things happen. Behind every successful shipment is a team coordinating information, customers, suppliers, transport and documentation to make sure everything gets where it needs to be.
As a Bookings Operative, you’ll get exposure to different parts of the operation, including transport, customer service and customs, giving you a great foundation for developing your career within the industry.
