You get it done
Together with your colleagues, you’ll ensure the smooth organisation of all transport operations. You’ll make sure shipments are picked up, dispatched, and delivered on time. Additionally, handling all associated administrative tasks with precision and accuracy: You’re on it.

How you do this? As a freight forwarder, you are responsible for checking and processing new orders in our Transport Management System.

Simultaneously, you might receive a request from customer service to provide a rate proposal for a return shipment from abroad. Thanks to your efforts, our customers remain satisfied, and everything runs like clockwork! You achieve this by:

•    actively following up on and communicating transport status updates with customers, carriers, and internal departments;
•    booking the required transport across various modalities;
•    preparing overviews and reports.

Your team stands out within DSV by its conviviality and willingness to help each other. In this team of seven colleagues, we work hard but there is also a lot of laughter.
