Move forward as Transport Planner at DSV in Tilburg

Are you someone who enjoys planning, coordinating and solving logistical puzzles? Whether you have just finished school or already have experience within transport, DSV offers you the opportunity to develop yourself in a dynamic transport environment where no two days are the same.

You get it done

An efficient transport planning operation where drivers, customers and transport capacity are perfectly aligned: you’re on it.

How you do this? As a transport planner, you are responsible for planning domestic transport operations from our Tilburg location. You monitor ongoing trips, communicate continuously with drivers and colleagues, and ensure transport orders are carried out safely, efficiently and on time. You achieve this by:

• optimally planning drivers, routes and available transport capacity;
• coordinating daily planning activities with drivers, carriers and internal departments;
• monitoring ongoing transport operations and responding immediately to disruptions or deviations;
• identifying bottlenecks and proposing solutions to continuously improve planning processes.

Your team stands out within DSV because of its strong collaboration, informal atmosphere and fast-paced environment. You will join a team of 12 planners who support each other, share knowledge and work together every day to deliver the best possible service to our customers.

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.

“Transport planning is about much more than scheduling trips. It is about thinking ahead, working together and finding the best solution for our customers every single day,” says Teun Floren, Senior Team Lead.

In the Netherlands, we operate from over 40 branches, with more than 5,000 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

• mbo level working and thinking ability, where an education or experience in transport and logistics is an advantage but certainly not a requirement;
• a good command of the Dutch language and sufficient knowledge of English to communicate professionally;
• experience working with computer systems and a solid basic knowledge of Excel;
• flexibility to work in a rotating shift schedule and the willingness to work full-time on-site.

It all counts for this vacancy of transport planner in Tilburg. Furthermore, it is of course important that you feel at home with us. That will certainly be possible if you like to keep going, have guts and want to grow with DSV.

You get

• 28 holiday days, 8% holiday allowance and a fixed gratuity payment of 5% of your annual salary;
• access to FiscFree, OpenUp for you and your family, the DSV Academy and various training and career development opportunities. Start here, go anywhere;
