Freight forwarding recruitment for Livingston businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Across Scotland, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt. We search for people who already know that trade.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
Forwarding demand across Scotland follows grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
Indicative permanent salaries in Livingston run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
