Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Inverness.
Permanent forwarding hires should grow the accounts they inherit.
Forwarding vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
With the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles serving the region, forwarders across the Highlands & Islands often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
