As Export Shipping Co-ordinator
, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our products reach customers around the world safely, efficiently and on time. You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day coordination of Terasaki’s international, multimodal export shipments (air, sea and road freight
), ensuring shipments meet customer, customs and country-specific requirements while balancing service, cost and timescales.

You’ll coordinate the full export process, working directly with freight forwarders, carriers, customs agents, customers and other external stakeholders. While you’ll work closely with colleagues across the business, you won’t have any people‑management responsibilities. Instead, you’ll be relied upon as the subject‑matter point of contact for international freight
, using your own knowledge and judgement to determine the appropriate course of action, investigate issues independently and find practical solutions when challenges arise.

This is a role suited to a mid-level professional who has demonstrable,
hands‑on, transactional experience coordinating international export shipments across air, sea and road freight forwarding, export shipping or international logistics.
You’ll need to be confident making operational decisions, dealing directly with external stakeholders and taking action when things don’t go to plan. Your ability to understand the detail, identify potential issues and resolve them will be critical to delivering a reliable export service.

Based on‑site in Clydebank, Glasgow
, this is a fast‑paced hands‑on, transactional role where you’ll have autonomy and clear ownership of your area of responsibility. Your core working hours will be Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 17:00 and Friday 08:00 to 12:30
, with flexitime forming part of our working hours.
