The posting

Come and join the leading #avoexperts 🥑

Westfalia Fruit is a leading multinational supplier of fresh fruit and related value-added products to global markets. Through our vertically-integrated supply chain we grow, source, ripen, pack, process and market quality avocadoes & fresh produce – 365 days a year & across the globe.

With the largest avocado-growing footprint in the world, we are recognised as the leading #avoexperts and considered as the supplier of choice to both retail & wholesale customers whom we serve from sales offices in the UK, Europe, North America, Latin America & Southern Africa.

We’re looking for two Inbound Logistics Coordinators to join our Operations hub in, Spalding, UK.

The Inbound Logistics Coordinates will work on a 4 on 4 off roter as a tandem team, responsible for the movement of fresh produce from global suppliers through ports and third-party logistics providers to the receiving site. They will keep shipments and transport on track, protect product quality and remaining shelf life, and give planning teams a reliable view of arrivals. Ultimately, taking ownership of day-to-day logistics issues, propose practical recovery options and control avoidable storage and transport costs.

Responsibilities include:

  • Maintain an accurate inbound shipment tracker covering orders, product, calibre, quantities, vessel and container details, expected arrivals and delivery status.
  • Liaise with overseas suppliers, shipping lines, freight forwarders and agents to track shipments, agree recovery actions and communicate revised arrival dates.
  • Align inbound shipments with Demand and Supply Planning, stock needs and site capacity, flagging arrivals clustered together, shortages and excess stock.
  • Confirm cargo release with the import team, monitor terminal availability and escalate port holds or inspection delays that could affect collections.
  • Book approved temperature-controlled hauliers for port collections, deliveries and site or 3PL transfers. Confirm slots, issue load and handling instructions, and track deliveries through to receipt.
  • Resolve transport delays, missed slots and failed collections. Manage collection cut-offs and empty-container returns within free time, retain proof of return and hand over outstanding movements.
  • Monitor cold-chain, hygiene and handling compliance, obtain temperature records and escalate temperature excursions or damaged loads to Technical or Quality.
  • Reconcile quantities, batches and stock locations with sites and 3PLs. Follow stock rotation and Quality release requirements, and coordinate urgent transfers to protect production and reduce waste.
  • Check transport, handling and storage invoices against agreed rates and actual activity. Challenge discrepancies and seek approval for exceptional charges.
  • Track demurrage, detention and other avoidable costs, recommend preventative actions and maintain accurate records for claims, audits and supplier reviews.

Requirements

Experience we look for:

Essential

  • Practical experience in import/export logistics, freight forwarding, shipping agency or port and terminal operations, including the coordination of international inbound shipments.
  • Experience coordinating 3PL warehouses and hauliers, including transport bookings, collection and delivery slots, and resolving service failures.
  • Working knowledge of import/export documentation, including commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or sea waybills and relevant certificates; understanding of customs clearance, port releases, Incoterms, container free time, demurrage and detention.
  • Understanding of temperature-controlled, time-sensitive products and the effect of delays or poor handling on quality, shelf life and waste.
  • Confident Excel and data-management skills, including maintaining trackers, reconciling quantities and analysing logistics information; able to learn ERP or transport systems.
  • Strong organisation, attention to detail and clear communication with overseas suppliers, service providers and internal teams.
  • A proactive approach: anticipates problems, challenges incomplete information, follows actions through and presents workable options under pressure.
  • Must have ability to get to site on own accord, bearing in mind these opportunities are structured around a 4 on 4 off shift pattern.

Benefits

What can Westfalia Fruit offer you?

  • Salary of between £30,000 and £35,000 per annum depending on experience
  • Free on-site parking.
  • Company pension scheme with life insurance cover.
  • Employee Assistance Plan with Medicash.
