Here, an import file is yours from pre-alert to final delivery. You’re trusted to run it your way, with a team that backs you up.

• Customs, cartage and warehousing under one roof, so answers are a conversation away
• Family-oriented culture, with management you can actually talk to
• Air import training and guidance provided if you don't have prior experience here

You will

• Run import shipments from pre-alert to final delivery, across FCL, LCL (air import is a small part of the job and will be taught accordingly)
