Pacific Customs Brokers Hiring for Administrative Support / Data Entry Job at Surrey Full Time

I’m the HR Manager formerly known as “3001CHI”

That’s pretty much all my previous employer knew me as. No idea why “CHI” or who 3000CHI and 3002CHI were. If they wanted me to feel like a cog, it was spectacularly successful. To a point, anyway. I left that company and I think we’re all happier for that.

I now work with a dedicated group of people who are passionate about what they do and even call me by my real name!

Founded in 1954, Pacific Customs Brokers has been providing premium brokerage services for over 65 years and has become one of the leading privately-owned brokerage houses in Western Canada. Customs brokerage is our passion and we owe our success to the dedicated and knowledgeable staff who work here. Customs Brokers play an important role in assisting importers to ensure their products are eligible to cross into Canada. We do it all- from handling the paperwork on an importer’s behalf, to figuring out how to get their product from point A to point B, to helping them understand how a new trade agreement will affect their business. If it involves international trade, we’re the go-to experts.

As demand continues to grow for our services, we are looking to add full-time Administrative Assistants/Data Entry staff This is a great opportunity for someone with Customer Service Representative (CSR) experience to apply their service skills into a long-term career.
