What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an environment where the exchange of ideas, seriousness, and everyone's training support both the company's development and my own, professionally and personally.

At Boyne Valley Group Ireland, I manage rush orders and shipment changes, monitor deliveries, and prepare customs documents to keep time-sensitive freight on track. I also negotiate freight rates with shipping lines, hauliers, and freight forwarders.

Previously, at DB Schenker Ireland & UK, I handled day-to-day inbound and outbound freight planning for Amazon EMEA and prepared monthly movement reports. My experience also includes customs operations supervision at TNT Express in Brazil, international freight pricing, and import and export coordination across air, road, sea, and rail.
