About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and hands-on Transport Coordinator (m/f/d) to join our Logistics team. If you thrive in the fast-paced world of international transportation, have experience coordinating multimodal shipments, and are confident handling customs and export documentation, we'd love to hear from you.

Your Mission

• Plan, book, and monitor domestic and international shipments across multiple transportation modes, including road, sea, and air freight.
• Coordinate the movement of goods throughout Europe and manage shipments to neighboring non-EU countries.
• Prepare, review, and maintain all transportation documentation, including freight documents (e.g., CMR, ADR, IMO) and customs/export documentation (e.g., commercial invoices, packing lists, export declarations) for international shipments.
• Collaborate closely with freight forwarders, customs brokers, logistics providers, and internal stakeholders to ensure timely and efficient deliveries.
• Proactively resolve transportation issues, shipment delays, loading problems, and other operational challenges.
• Verify freight invoices and support internal and external billing processes.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate end-to-end transportation activities across road, sea, and air freight.
• Ensure accurate preparation and compliance of shipping, customs, and export documentation.
• Monitor shipment status and communicate proactively with logistics partners and customers.
• Support customs clearance processes and ensure compliance with international trade regulations.
• Manage transportation-related issues and implement timely solutions to minimize operational disruptions.
• Review transportation costs and assist with freight invoice validation and settlement.

Qualifications

• Completed vocational training or a degree in Logistics, Freight Forwarding, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in operational transportation, freight forwarding, or international logistics.
• Solid experience preparing customs and export documentation for international shipments.
• Strong understanding of Incoterms, international trade regulations, customs procedures, and cross-border transportation requirements.
• Professional proficiency in German and good working knowledge of English.
• Excellent organizational skills with a structured and detail-oriented approach.
• A proactive, hands-on mindset with the ability to work effectively in a dynamic environment and solve operational challenges under time pressure.
