Import And Export Logistics Coordinator

BSA Global · Dubai (DAFZA) · Full-time · AED 7,000–10,000/month

About The Job

We are BSA Global, a freight forwarding company based in Dubai.

We are looking for a hands-on Import/Export Logistics Coordinator who truly knows the trade — not just from a coordination desk, but from the ground up.

You will independently manage the entire lifecycle of air and sea freight shipments: from rate enquiry and quotation through booking, documentation, customs procedures, and final delivery confirmation.

You will also coordinate and supervise a Logistics Operations Runner, forming a self-sufficient two-person operational unit.

Our model is lean and hands-on — we do not sub-contract to third-party agents.

Every shipment is managed entirely in-house, which means you must have deep, practical knowledge of UAE logistics systems and be equally comfortable as a coordinator, a customs broker, and a freight buyer.

What You Will Do

  • Obtain and compare rates from airlines, shipping lines, and freight agents; prepare accurate client quotations within agreed margin structures
  • Book cargo space via Calogi, CargoAi, or direct airline portals (Emirates SkyCargo, Qatar Airways Cargo, Air Arabia Cargo, flydubai Cargo)
  • Book FCL/LCL shipments with shipping lines (CMA CGM, MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, Evergreen) or local agents
  • Issue and manage Air Waybills (AWBs) through Calogi; prepare Bills of Lading and Sea Waybills
  • Prepare full documentation sets: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, MSDS, DGD, Form E, Fumigation Certificate, and all required regulatory certificates
  • File export/import customs declarations and transit entries via Dubai Trade Portal independently
  • Apply for and manage vehicle and cargo gate passes via DAFZA Gate Pass System
  • Plan and assign daily field tasks to the Logistics Runner; monitor progress in real time and resolve on-the-ground issues immediately
  • Send pre-alerts, arrival notifications, and delivery orders to overseas partners and clients

What We Are Looking For

  • Must have:
  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on freight forwarding experience in the UAE (UAE-specific, not GCC in general)
  • Proven daily-use experience with Dubai Trade Portal — must file export and import declarations independently
  • Proven Calogi experience — AWB issuance, not just tracking
  • DAFZA and/or DWC gate pass application experience
  • Fluent English — all documentation, carrier communication, and client updates in English
  • Nice to have:
  • JAFZA import/export procedures knowledge
  • Experience working directly with airlines and shipping lines (direct carrier bookings)
  • Understanding of Incoterms 2020 and their practical impact on liability and documentation
  • Arabic — advantageous for customs officers and government authority communication
  • Russian or Ukrainian — strong advantage for CIS/Eastern European client segment communication

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary: AED 7,000–10,000/month (based on experience and systems knowledge)
  • Performance bonus tied to shipment volume KPIs and client satisfaction scores
  • DAFZA-sponsored employment visa and work permit
  • Corporate phone and SIM card
  • Health insurance (as per UAE Labour Law)
  • 30 days annual leave
  • End of Service gratuity (EOSB)
  • Training budget: DGR certifications, logistics conferences, system training
  • Career growth: Senior Coordinator → Operations Manager
  • Schedule: 5–6 days/week.
  • Hours aligned with cargo and vessel schedules.

Job Types: Full-time, Contract

Contract length: 24 months

Language

  • English (Required)
  • Arabic (Preferred)
  • Russian/Ukrainian (Preferred)
