Move forward as Assistant Transport Planner at DSV in Venlo

As an assistant transport planner, you’re ready to push boundaries, both literally and figuratively. Due to the growth of our Special Services department, we are looking for multiple colleagues to join our team. No two days are the same, and together you’ll provide tailor-made solutions that make an impact.

You get it done

As an assistant transport planner, you’ll support the team and learn the ins and outs of the job. You’ll play a crucial role in the logistics process by planning and coordinating shipments: you’re on it.

How you do this? We’ll teach you how to carry out transport efficiently. Together with your colleagues, you ensure that the trips are as profitable as possible, also assisting in finding return shipments and additional pick-ups. You maintain close communication with colleagues in the departments of dispatch, customer service, and own fleet, which makes collaboration efficient. Additionally, you play an important role in building and maintaining a network, both internally and externally. You achieve all this by:

• supporting the planning of shipments for our own trailers, ensuring efficiency with minimal kilometers and maximum load capacity.
• proactively communicating and providing updates to customers and partners, as well as with your drivers.
• following up on shipments and identifying any irregularities related to loading, unloading, and delivering shipments.

Your team at DSV stands out thanks to a mix of very experienced and newly starting colleagues, providing an excellent learning environment. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions and learn from each other. Fun in the workplace is key for us, and we create a work atmosphere where everyone feels supported to grow.

We are DSV, we grow

DSV is a global provider of transport and logistics services. With offices in more than 90 countries and a growing network of partners, there is no place in the world we cannot reach via transport by air, sea, rail, courier or road or where we can offer storage in warehouses.

With our own fleet delivering daily to many destinations in Europe for clients with specific requirements, no challenge is too great. We challenge you to make the impossible possible! says Dennis Jansen, 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

• do you already have some knowledge of transport or a background in logistics? Great! If not, we’re happy to teach you the ropes.
• our drivers also work weekends, for example, to the UK. A few times a year, you’ll be on-call for escalations during the weekend. Of course, this comes with a nice compensation.
• a good command of both Dutch and English is essential. If you also speak a bit of German, that’s a nice bonus!

All of this is important for the assistant transport planner position in Venlo. It’s also crucial that you feel at home with us. This will certainly be the case if you are proactive, have courage, and want to grow with DSV.
