You get it done
You hear the question behind the question. Because you maintain close contact with our carriers and customers, you are able to find the best customised transport solution. From transporting children's toys to incendiary products. You work on it.

 

How you do this? Screening a transport request, looking for a suitable transport solution and following up the shipment when it is en route to its final destination. From A to Z, you are and remain in the lead. You ensure that shipments are handled so proactively that any unforeseen circumstances are spotted and resolved even before the customer notices or contacts you. You achieve this by:

 

•    booking shipments using our transport management system, with one of our carriers/transporters;
•    monitoring the status of the shipment, timely signalling any disruptions or delays en route and proactively informing the customer;
•    cancelling shipments once they reach their destination and ensuring correct invoicing to our customer.

 

Your team stands out within DSV for its ambition to grow. In recent years, our freight department has already experienced major growth. The demand for value-added logistics is only increasing, so within your team you will have the opportunity to help build a professional foundation for our freight department.

In a friendly and top-notch team with diversity and knowledge, we make sure every day that sportswear, airfryers and thermo bottles, among others, arrive everywhere, says Delano Ketelings, Senior Freight Forwarder.

 

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

•    a proactive way of working, you are critical and ask the right questions. To the customer, but also within our operation;
•    experience in a customer / solution-oriented function;
•    knowledge of logistics services is a big plus, but otherwise we will be happy to teach you all the tricks of the trade,
•    command of the English language, do you also speak Dutch or another foreign language? Then that will certainly come in handy.

 

It all counts for this vacancy of freight forwarder in Venlo. 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.
