• Supporting the wider customs team with accurate and efficient clearance of time-sensitive shipments

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Strong experience preparing import and export declarations
• Good knowledge of UK and EU customs regulations post-Brexit
• Knowledge of customs procedure codes and duty requirements
• Experience with CDS and other UK customs systems
• Experience with ASM Sequoia / CONEX
• Knowledge of CFSP and Transit procedures would be highly advantageous
• A proactive approach and the ability to resolve customs issues quickly and accurately

The role operates a three-week Monday-Friday rotation, providing coverage across international freight movements:

Week 1: 07:00 – 16:00
Week 2: 08:30 – 17:30
Week 3: 10:00 – 19:00

• Monday‑Friday working pattern
• 22 days’ holiday + bank holidays
• Option to purchase additional annual leave
• Company pension
• Free on-site parking
• Cycle‑to‑work scheme
• Casual dress environment
• Continued professional development and support with relevant HMRC/customs qualifications
• Opportunity to join an established and growing customs operation
• A varied role covering road, air and multimodal freight
• The chance to build your career within a business where customs is a genuine specialist function

If you’re an experienced Customs Clearance professional and are looking for a role where you can develop your technical knowledge, work alongside other customs specialists and be part of a growing international logistics operation, I’d be keen to speak with you.
