Imagine stepping into a role where your organisational skills keep goods moving across continents, your attention to detail keeps the wheels of international trade turning, and your problem-solving ability keeps projects on track.

We're a leading food manufacturer with a buzzing supply chain team, and we're offering a rare opportunity to join us on a high-profile, project-driven contract. This 12-month FTC is set to be exciting from day one - and because our business is growing fast, it could easily lead to an extension or even a permanent position.
Why this role matters
You'll be the go-to person for keeping our imports and exports flowing smoothly - managing shipping schedules, tracking containers, liaising with customs, and ensuring our documentation is spot-on.

It's a role that blends logistics know-how with problem-solving agility - and because we're project-focused, there's always something new to tackle.
You'll thrive here if you:
Love the buzz of coordinating international shipments and solving problems before they escalate.
Have experience in logistics, supply chain, or import/export operations.
Understand UK & EU regulations and enjoy working with customs authorities.
Are confident using Excel and ideally have some experience with Microsoft D365 or other ERP systems.
What's in it for you?
Hybrid working - split your week between home and the office in Kent.
A role with a future - the contract could extend or go permanent, with genuine progression into other areas of the company.
An exciting project environment - work on initiatives that make a real difference to how we operate.
A supportive, collaborative culture - join a friendly team that values your input.
If you're ready to be part of something fast-moving, future-focused, and full of potential, we'd love to hear from you. This is your chance to make a real impact and grow with a company that's going places.
