• Ensuring all documentation is accurate, complete, and compliant with HMRC and relevant EU/Ireland customs requirements
• Using internal and external systems to input, validate, and manage shipment data
• Communicating with clients, hauliers, and internal teams to ensure smooth clearance across Irish routes
• Supporting the wider customs team in maintaining high levels of service and compliance

• Some experience in logistics, freight, administration, or a data-driven role (not essential)
• Strong IT skills and confidence working with systems and data entry
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the ability to adapt quickly
• Excellent attention to detail and communication skills
• A positive attitude and genuine interest in learning a specialist trade
