- Working across key customs platforms including CDS, CNS, Destin8, Sequoia and CONEX
- Supporting the wider customs team with accurate and efficient clearance of time-sensitive shipments
About You
We’re looking for someone with at least 2 years’ hands‑on customs clearance experience who is looking to develop their career within a genuine customs environment.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Strong experience preparing import and export declarations
- Good knowledge of UK and EU customs regulations post-Brexit
- Knowledge of customs procedure codes and duty requirements
- Experience with CDS and other UK customs systems
- Experience with ASM Sequoia / CONEX
- Knowledge of CFSP and Transit procedures would be highly advantageous
- A proactive approach and the ability to resolve customs issues quickly and accurately
Working Hours
The role operates a three-week Monday-Friday rotation, providing coverage across international freight movements:
Week 1: 07:00 – 16:00
Week 2: 08:30 – 17:30
Week 3: 10:00 – 19:00
No weekend working.
What’s on Offer?
- £33,000 – £37,000 basic salary, depending on experience
- Monday‑Friday working pattern
- 22 days’ holiday + bank holidays
- Option to purchase additional annual leave
- Company pension
- Free on-site parking
- Cycle‑to‑work scheme
- Casual dress environment
- Continued professional development and support with relevant HMRC/customs qualifications
- Opportunity to join an established and growing customs operation
- A varied role covering road, air and multimodal freight
- The chance to build your career within a business where customs is a genuine specialist function
If you’re an experienced Customs Clearance professional and are looking for a role where you can develop your technical knowledge, work alongside other customs specialists and be part of a growing international logistics operation, I’d be keen to speak with you.
