Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Cambuslang

Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Cambuslang businesses.

Scotland

Forwarding talent for Cambuslang

Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.

Across Scotland, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports. We search for people who already know that trade.

Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.

With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen serving the region, forwarders across Scotland often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
