Are you an experienced operations manager within logistics who is ready for the next step? For our location in ’s-Heerenberg, we are looking for a strong people manager and operational leader who can further grow, professionalise and elevate an already well-performing site.

You get it done

Further developing a large-scale logistics operation within an international multi-client environment: you’re on it. At this multicultural site with many retail customers, you will have the opportunity to build further on a strong foundation focused on quality, structure and operational excellence.

How do you do this? As operations manager, together with your supervisors and team leaders, you manage a warehouse operation of 45,000 m2 with 250 to 350 employees. You are part of the local management team and report directly to the site manager. In this role, you combine strategic insight with a strong presence on the work floor. You achieve this by:

• leading, coaching and further developing supervisors and operational teams;
• monitoring KPI’s, productivity, quality, safety and customer agreements within a complex retail environment;
• initiating and leading improvement projects focused on further professionalising processes, teams and collaboration;
• working closely with customers, internal stakeholders and management to realise sustainable growth and high customer satisfaction.

Your team stands out within DSV because of the strong foundation already in place. A committed and experienced team that is ready for the next step in professionalism, collaboration and quality. Together, you continue building a future-proof operation where ownership, development and continuous improvement are key. Start here, go anywhere.
