Well established business serving several countries across the globe, Logistics Coordinator, Milton Keynes, to £35,000
Our established client in Milton Keynes are looking to appoint a Logistics Coordinator to take full ownership of our end-to-end logistics operations.
This is a standalone role, so we require someone confident working independently and capable of managing all aspects of international freight and customs compliance without supervision.
Role Overview
As the Logistics Coordinator, you will be responsible for managing shipments across air, sea, and road freight, ensuring cost-effective, compliant, and on-time delivery. The role also includes full responsibility for export documentation, customs processes, and freight cost control. UK Import/Export experience is crucial for this position.
Logistics Coordinator: Key Requirements
We are specifically looking for candidates with:
- Proven, hands-on experience in international logistics (post-Brexit)
- Strong knowledge of UK–EU customs procedures, including export/import declarations, VAT, and duty handling
- Practical experience working directly with freight forwarders and carrier portals (e.g. DHL, UPS, etc.)
- Ability to create and validate commercial invoices, manage HS codes, Country of Origin, and Incoterms (EXW focus)
- Experience with Chambers of Commerce documentation, including Certificates of Origin
- Solid understanding of freight cost structures (Freight Prepaid vs Collect) and confidence to challenge pricing
Specialist Experience (Essential)
- Handling dangerous goods shipments, particularly lithium-ion batteries and magnetised products
- Knowledge of relevant regulations (IATA, IMDG, ADR) and ensuring full compliance
Key Attributes
- Highly detail-oriented with zero tolerance for documentation errors
- Strong commercial awareness and cost control mindset
- Confident communicator across internal teams and external partners
- Able to manage multiple shipments and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Given the scope and autonomy of this role, we are looking for candidates who can demonstrate real, hands-on operational experience, rather than purely administrative exposure.
