We are exclusively representing a privately held European freight forwarder with over 30 offices and a core focus on project logistics. The company supports global movements across air, ocean, and rail freight for clients in EPC, energy, and industrial markets. Their U.S. presence is centered in Houston and plays a critical role in high-complexity cargo execution.

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

  • Coordinate shipments across air charter, ocean breakbulk, RoRo, and rail freight from origin to final mile delivery
  • Plan routing based on cargo specifications, transit time, and compliance requirements across key global corridors
  • Negotiate vendor rates and manage commercial terms with carriers, riggers, and inland providers
  • Prepare customer-facing quotes and respond to tenders for complex capital project movements
  • Oversee full operational execution including documentation, client updates, and on-ground coordination

Candidate Requirements

  • Minimum three years in project forwarding or industrial logistics
  • Experience handling air, ocean, or rail freight for high-value or non-standard cargo
  • Familiarity with Incoterms, breakbulk documentation, DG handling, and compliance requirements
  • Confident communicator with strong attention to detail and planning discipline
  • Based in Houston or surrounding area; hybrid setup available for qualified candidates

What You Can Expect

  • Direct exposure to international EPC and industrial projects
  • A mid-sized operational culture with high standards and low bureaucracy
  • Collaboration with overseas teams and frontline logistics partners
  • Career growth within a stable, project-focused environment

This position is for someone who understands project cargo, executes without errors, and values precision over volume.
