Move forward as Freight Forwarder Special Services at DSV in Venlo
Ready to make a difference? For our clients. For your colleagues. But above all, for yourself? As a freight forwarder special services, you literally and figuratively push the boundaries. As the department's name suggests, you and your colleagues deal with special transport.

You get it done
Everything that doesn’t fit on a pallet or through standard shipping lands with your team. Whether it’s transporting electronic equipment, store furnishings, or shipments across Europe, you’re on it.

How do you do this? As a freight forwarder special services, you're responsible for the swift and efficient handling of transport shipments, to and from various countries within Europe. The outbound leg is arranged; to make this trip as profitable as possible, you ensure the driver can also do some pick-ups on the return journey. Additionally, you're able to build and maintain a network both internally and externally. You achieve this by:

•    planning shipments for own trailers and special shipments as efficiently as possible, with minimal mileage and maximum occupancy rate;
•    independently planning our fleet of 23 trucks, you do this together with you colleagues;
•    proactively communicating and informing customers, colleagues and partners
•    monitoring shipments and identifying irregularities regarding loading, unloading, and delivery. You're responsible from A to Z.

Your team stands out at DSV due to a mix of highly experienced and starting colleagues. Everyone helps each other and learns the tricks of the trade from one another. Job satisfaction is paramount. Laughter is certainly heard in the special services department.

But we do challenge you to make the impossible possible as a freight forwarder special services, says Frank Janssen, Senior Team Lead Special Services.

In the Netherlands, we operate from over 25 branches, with more than 3,000 colleagues. Together we rise to the challenge of a rapidly changing environment. We make quick decisions at every level and combine ambition and teamwork. This is how we move forward and make a difference together.

You bring
•    passion for the profession, which you can share with others;

•    strong English skills; Dutch is an advantage.
