Project Specialist | Hazelmere WA

CEVA Logistics provides global supply chain solutions to connect people, products and providers all around the world. Present in 170 countries and with more than 110,000 employees spread over 1,300 sites, we are well on our way to achieving our vision: to be a Top 5 global 3PL. We believe that our employees are the key to our success. We want to engage and empower our diverse, global team to co-create value with our customers through our solutions in contract logistics and air, ocean, ground, and finished vehicle transport.

YOUR ROLE

We are seeking a capable and proactive Project Specialist to join our Project Logistics team in Australia. In this hybrid role, you will coordinate and execute complex cargo movements across air, ocean, and road networks—supporting multimodal freight from planning through to delivery. While much of your work will be office-based, you’ll also play a key role on-site during critical phases of execution, ensuring CEVA meets client expectations for safety, compliance, and service delivery.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

Specifically, you will:

• Coordinate and execute project logistics across all modes of transport, including general freight, breakbulk, out-of-gauge (OOG), heavy-lift, and heavy haulage shipments.
• Act as CEVA’s operational and client-facing representative, managing client relationships during project execution, participating in online and in-person meetings, and providing timely, high-quality updates throughout the shipment lifecycle.
• Source, negotiate and manage competitive freight rates across all transport modes, ensuring alignment with client requirements and CEVA’s commercial strategy.
• Manage quotations, RFQs, and tenders via online tools and portals, ensuring timely follow-up and accurate alignment with client needs.
• Prepare and present tailored commercial materials such as capability statements and case studies to support business development and project acquisition.
• Liaise with carriers, subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams to ensure compliance with scope, timelines, safety and cost parameters.
• Prepare and manage job documentation, including shipping instructions, permits, customs paperwork, invoicing support and compliance records.
• Provide operational input to the commercial team on solution feasibility, risk assessment and execution timelines.
• Monitor job profitability and milestone compliance through CEVA’s freight management system, ensuring billing accuracy and alignment with budgets.
• Track project KPIs and support post-project reviews, driving continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our ideal candidate has a strong background in international logistics and experience supporting project cargo operations across both office and field environments. You will also have:

• Experience in international logistics or project cargo execution
• Experience managing breakbulk, OOG, or heavy-lift cargo end-to-end
• Sound understanding of multimodal transport operations
• Proficiency in a freight management system for job processing, tracking, and billing (e.g. CargoWise or equivalent)
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to manage client relationships and provide high-quality updates
• Flexibility to travel and attend port or site operations as required, including occasional after-hours support.

In addition to providing proof of work rights and suitable professional referees, progressed candidates will be required to undergo a medical assessment and national police check.
