This guide looks at a senior, permanent coordination role in freight forwarding, offered through Intellistaff Outsourced Services for a client in the sector. The work is described as remote, anywhere in South Africa, and it suits someone who can keep cross-border shipments moving smoothly from the first booking through to final delivery.
About Intellistaff Outsourced Services and the Coordinator Role
Intellistaff Outsourced Services is acting as the recruiter for this opportunity, placing a coordinator with a client that works in freight forwarding. In that setting, coordination is the link between clients, carriers and the paperwork that allows goods to move across borders, so accuracy and clear communication matter at every stage.
The role is centred on the full shipment cycle rather than on one small task. A coordinator follows each file as it progresses, checks that documents and costs stay in order, and helps resolve delays before they become larger problems for the client.
Main Duties of the Role
- Arranging import and export shipments from booking through to collection and final delivery.
- Preparing and checking shipping and customs documentation for each movement.
- Keeping clients and carriers updated and handling day-to-day operational questions.
- Tracking accruals, supplier costs and invoicing linked to each shipment.
- Monitoring margins and closing files once a shipment is complete.
Most Common Requirements
- Education: A Matric or National Senior Certificate.
- Experience: At least three years in freight forwarding or international moving operations.
- Trade knowledge: Experience with both imports and exports.
- Shipment types: Experience with FCL, LCL, air freight and road freight.
- Systems: Experience with CargoWise or a similar freight-management system.
Exact requirements depend on the official posting, so always read the details for this specific role before applying.
