JOB DESCRIPTION
It's more than a job
As a member of the Freight Forwarding team Kuehne+Nagel, you will play a key role in transporting goods, optimising processes, and fulfilling our customers' promises. And by transporting medicines, toys and important machine parts, you are not only delivering goods, you are making small and big moments possible for people all around the world. At Kuehne+Nagel, our contribution counts in more ways than we imagine.
Somewhere right now, a customer’s cargo is waiting to leave port. A cut-off is closing, a booking has just changed, and a shipping instruction doesn’t quite match the paperwork. Behind every smooth departure is someone who spotted that detail, picked up the phone, and fixed it before it became a problem.
Your Day in the Operational Care Team
You’ll join a close-knit Operational Care team that looks after exports from the first booking to the moment the vessel sails, and beyond. You are the person customers, carriers and colleagues turn to when they need things done right and on time.
Your day might look like this:
You start the story. You create export shipments in our systems with care, because accurate data at the start saves everyone trouble later.
You check the plot. You review shipping instructions against compliance, routing and rate requirements, and catch what doesn’t add up.
You keep it moving. You coordinate with carriers, partners and internal teams to make sure transport runs as planned.
You get the paperwork right. Bills of lading, VGM filings and invoices go out within the required timelines.
You follow the journey. You track shipments, tell customers when they’ve departed, and deal with any deviation calmly and quickly.
You bring it together. You manage consolidation shipments (master files) and see them through to the end.
You keep the books honest. You update costs and revenue on time and verify invoices.
You solve the twists. When discrepancies, claims or disputes come up, you resolve them quickly and fairly.
You make the next chapter better. You watch how carriers and vendors perform and help us improve how we work.
You’ll deliver excellent service, stay compliant, keep costs under control and get the details right.
The Person We’re Looking For
You’re the one who notices the typo before anyone else does. You stay steady when five things need attention at once. Here’s what you bring:
4+ years of experience in sea logistics export operations or a similar role
A strong understanding of freight forwarding processes and export compliance
Hands-on experience with shipping documentation, including bills of lading and export filings
A sharp eye for detail and strong organisational skills
The ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
Clear communication and stakeholder management skills
Commercial awareness, with a focus on cost and operational efficiency
A problem-solving mindset, and the judgment to know when to escalate and how to resolve things
What's in it for you
Along with a competitive remuneration package, we want to make sure our employees are motivated in all aspects. Here in Kuehne+Nagel Australia, we pride ourselves in taking care of our employees with benefits such as:
Corporate rates for Private Health Care Insurance
Free Flu Vaccination Program
Inclusive Gender-Neutral Parental Leave Policy to support all parents
Attractive long-service awards

And more!
