Job Description

Project Pricing Supervisor – Freight Forwarding

Location: Houston, TX

Compensation: $95,000 – $115,000 base + performance bonus + full benefits

We are representing a European-based international freight forwarder that specializes in technical, high-value project cargo across the Oil & Gas, Energy, and Renewables sectors. This company is globally recognized for precision logistics in breakbulk, heavy lift, and out-of-gauge shipments. Their U.S. business is scaling rapidly, with Houston positioned as the core hub for commercial and operational leadership.

This is a strategic hire designed to strengthen their North American pricing capability and increase win rates across complex, multi-modal projects.

Position Summary

The Project Pricing Supervisor will take ownership of pricing execution for global tenders and project logistics RFQs. The role supports front-line sales by building margin-protected pricing models, coordinating with procurement and operations, and developing fully scoped technical proposals across all transport modes.

This role is built for someone who understands the commercial urgency of pre-sales, the operational precision of project logistics, and the financial discipline of margin control.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end pricing for project RFQs across air, ocean, trucking, and multimodal
  • Analyze technical scope including cargo specs, handling requirements, and routing risks
  • Collaborate with sales and project teams to create accurate, executable pricing proposals
  • Lead vendor negotiations for heavy haul, barge, craneage, chartering, and port services
  • Produce detailed cost breakdowns with full margin protection and escalation logic
  • Maintain rate benchmarks and market intelligence to support pricing decisions
  • Engage in client-facing conversations as technical support during pre-award phase
  • Coordinate with European HQ and global teams on cross-border project pricing

Required Experience

  • 5+ years in international freight forwarding with a focus on project pricing or coordination
  • Proven track record handling RFQs for breakbulk, OOG, flat racks, and time-critical freight
  • Deep understanding of Incoterms, HS Codes, trade compliance, and EPC logistics standards
  • Commercial mindset with the ability to balance competitiveness and profitability
  • Strong Excel skills and experience with CargoWise or similar TMS systems
  • Familiarity with client expectations in Oil & Gas, Energy, or Industrial Projects

Preferred Profile

  • Experience supporting EPC or project tenders in Energy, Renewables, or O&G
  • Background in chartering, barge ops, or port-based cargo handling
  • Ability to contribute to both pricing execution and solution design

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive base salary
  • Bonus tied to bid performance and margin outcomes
  • Direct reporting line to Head of Projects
  • High-visibility role within a growing U.S. leadership team
  • Long-term commercial career track in project freight

This is a critical hire for a project-driven forwarder that values commercial discipline, speed to market, and operational precision. Only candidates with relevant project logistics pricing experience will be considered.
