This job is for experienced air freight professionals who want more than just another operational role. At Blue Water Shipping in Amsterdam, we are experiencing significant growth, and we are looking for several skilled Air Freight Forwarders to help shape the next chapter of our journey.

You already know airfreight. You understand the pace, complexity, and importance of delivering outstanding service every single day. What you may be looking for now is an environment where your experience truly matters, where you are trusted to take responsibility, and where you have the opportunity to influence how things are done.

At our Amsterdam office, you will join a growing team of dedicated logistics professionals, working with international customers, complex logistics solutions, and a broad range of industries. You'll be given the freedom to make decisions, challenge existing ways of working, and contribute directly to our continued success.

About the role

As one of our new Air Freight Forwarders, you will become a key part of our Air Freight team in Amsterdam. Depending on your background and interests, you will work across import, export, or a combination of both disciplines.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing air freight shipments from start to finish
• Building strong relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners
• Finding smart and commercially attractive solutions for customers
• Coordinating bookings, documentation, customs formalities, and operational execution
• Identifying opportunities for improvement and optimising workflows
• Contributing actively to the continued growth and development of our Amsterdam office

We play as a team. We play to win.

Our Amsterdam office is growing, creating exciting opportunities for experienced airfreight professionals. You'll join a collaborative team where initiative, responsibility, and knowledge sharing are part of everyday life. 

We offer a competitive salary that matches your knowledge and experience, attractive employee benefits. As we continue to grow, your experience, commercial mindset, and drive will help shape both our success and your own development.

What we are looking for

We are looking for experienced air freight professionals who are motivated by responsibility, growth, and the opportunity to make a real impact.

You bring:

• Experience within air freight forwarding
• Experience from a freight forwarding or logistics company
• Strong drive, commitment, and engagement
• The confidence to take ownership and challenge the status quo
• A hunger for results and continuous development
• Strong commercial awareness and business understanding
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced international environment
• Fluent English skills, both written and spoken

More importantly, you are someone who sees opportunities rather than limitations. You take responsibility for your work, build strong relationships with customers and colleagues, and contribute positively to the team around you.
