WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1995 under the Shree Krishna Group of Companies, our journey began in Surat — the textile capital of India — with a vision to build a trusted and progressive enterprise in the yarn and textile value chain. Over the years, the Group has earned strong market credibility through deep industry knowledge, dependable relationships, disciplined execution, and a consistent commitment to quality and business integrity.

Alltex Exim Pvt. Ltd. was established in 2010 with the ambition of extending this legacy beyond domestic markets and emerging as a global textile solutions company. Today, Alltex is engaged across man-made and natural fibres, yarns, sustainable yarns, and speciality and value-added textile products, with a growing strategic focus on expanding from fibre-to-yarn and progressively towards the fibre-to-fabric value chain.

With exports to 13 countries and an international presence through offices in Egypt and Bangladesh, Alltex continues to strengthen its position as a trusted global partner in textiles. Our approach is driven by market intelligence, product expertise, reliable execution, innovation, responsible sourcing, and long-term value creation for our customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders.

THE ROLE

You will own how our imports and exports move — booking with shipping lines and forwarders, deciding the right Incoterms (FOB/CIF) and carrier for each shipment, negotiating ocean freight, CHA and trucking rates, and bringing down our landed cost. Shipping documentation is handled by a separate team member; this role is about freight, carriers, transport and cost.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

● Plan and book export and import shipments (FCL/LCL) with shipping lines, NVOCCs and freight forwarders.

● Advise on Incoterms (FOB, CIF, CFR, EXW) for each deal, and when we should control the freight versus letting the buyer or supplier book it.





● Compare and negotiate freight rates across lines and forwarders, track rate trends, and choose the right time, line and route to book.

● Manage inland transport: truck and container movement from Surat and nearby mills to ports (Hazira, Nhava Sheva, Mundra) and ICDs, and negotiate trucking rates.

● Coordinate with CHAs, forwarders, transporters and our documentation team so cargo moves on time.

● Track every shipment from booking to delivery and handle delays, rollovers, detention and demurrage.

● Maintain a freight-cost tracker and report the savings achieved.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

● 3–8 years in import-export logistics at a trading or export house, shipping line, NVOCC or freight forwarder.

● Hands-on experience booking with shipping lines and negotiating ocean freight; strong grasp of Incoterms.

● Working knowledge of Gujarat/Maharashtra ports, container types, free days and detention/demurrage.

● Trucking/transport experience is a plus.

● Profiles with only documentation experience (BL, invoice, packing list) are not the right fit for this role.

● Valuable communication in English and Hindi; Gujarati is a plus.

LOGISTICS

● Location: Surat, Gujarat (on-site)

Pay: ₹30,000.00 - ₹42,000.00 per month

Ability to commute/relocate:

- Surat, Gujarat: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (Preferred)

Application Question(s):

- Which shipping lines or forwarders have you worked with, and on which trade lanes?
- In your last role, did you mainly handle freight booking and cost negotiation, documentation, or both?
- What is your current CTC, expected CTC and notice period?
- How many years have you worked in import-export logistics (freight booking and carrier coordination, not only documentation)?
- Have you booked shipments directly with shipping lines or freight forwarders and negotiated ocean freight rates? Please describe briefly.

Education:

- Bachelor's (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
