Job Description

Borderless work – Freight Forwarding and Logistics Services Specialist. Is the world your village? Great! As a freight forwarding and logistics services specialist, you can earn money with your passion for foreign countries.

A lot of planning is necessary to ensure that bananas arrive ripe on supermarket shelves in southern Germany. As a freight forwarding and logistics services specialist, you ensure that goods travel smoothly from one place to another. You determine which means of transport is most suitable, check customs regulations and delivery times. Based on the collected data, you create quotes. Once the goods are en route, you take care of compliance with customs regulations and ensure that the necessary documents are always where they belong, so that the goods arrive safely and on time.
