Move forward as Control Tower Specialist at DSV in Venlo

Do you want to make an impact in international logistics and help customers move forward every day? This is your chance to improve processes, strengthen relationships, and make a difference together with your team.

You get it done

Every day in this department is focused on smooth goods flows, customer agreements, and smart solutions: you’re on it.

How you do this? Our European Control Tower is divided into different specialisations. Depending on your knowledge, experience, and interests, you will take on a key role in one of these areas: technology, fashion, or chemicals. Together with your team, you ensure new customers are implemented smoothly and existing relationships are further developed. To prepare you well, you will start by gaining experience within our freight forwarding departments, where you will get to know the operations up close. With these insights, you understand how our processes work and can provide effective support to our customers from day one.

You are always ready to deliver the ultimate customer experience. You have daily contact with international customers and act as their go-to person, ensuring shipments arrive on time and without issues. You are the link between customers and colleagues, and you address delays or problems immediately by finding the best solutions together with your team and the customer. You monitor lead times, track shipments carefully, and ensure everyone in the process always has the right information. You achieve this by:

• preparing reports and processing the associated logistics administration in our system, keeping all data complete and up to date;
• handling customer complaints and claims, finding and following up on solutions quickly and effectively;
• identifying deviations in processes, analysing the root cause, and resolving issues immediately;
• actively developing customer relationships and seizing opportunities to identify and realise business potential;
• maintaining close contact with internal departments, including colleagues from planning, sales, and cross-dock, ensuring everyone is aligned and processes run efficiently.

Your team stands out within DSV by its close collaboration and solution-oriented approach. Colleagues proactively support each other, respond quickly to challenges, and together ensure processes run smoothly and customers always receive the best possible service.
