What does your role look like?
- As an Export Freight Forwarder within an international Projects department, you coordinate export shipments from start to finish for a dedicated international client. From Antwerp, you oversee every step: from order processing and booking to documentation, transport monitoring and correct closure.
- You receive, verify and register export orders in the transport management system in accordance with agreed procedures and work instructions. This ensures that every shipment departs with complete and reliable information.
- Operational coordination rests with you: you make arrangements with carriers, align with internal and external partners and closely monitor the progress of every consignment.
- You prepare, check and follow up transport and export documents in a timely manner. Missing data or discrepancies are flagged promptly and you help to find an appropriate solution.
- As a Freight Forwarder, you maintain direct contact with the client regarding ongoing shipments, status updates and any changes. Your communication provides clarity and prevents delays.
- Cost registration, invoice follow-up, reporting and the administrative closure of shipments also fall within your responsibility. Accuracy here makes a direct difference to the quality of the service provided.
- You work independently within a structured project environment, whilst aligning regularly with colleagues and partners. You are given ownership of your files and can see concretely how your follow-up keeps the international flow of goods running smoothly.
You will join a global logistics and supply chain organisation that develops solutions for medium-sized and large enterprises across a range of industrial and commercial sectors. The working environment is international, people-oriented and focused on collaboration, development and high-quality service delivery.
