Site Manager

Move forward as Site Manager at DSV in Venlo

Are you a strategically strong leader with experience in complex logistics environments? Do you have vision, provide direction, and know how to get people moving? For our Venlo location, we are seeking a site manager who looks beyond today and plays a key role in the further development of this high-tech site. 

You get it done

Working at this location means leading one of the most advanced logistics sites in the Netherlands, where technology, scale and customer focus come together. You are helping to build the future of logistics here: you’re on it. 

How you do this? As site manager, you combine operational leadership with strategic insight. You oversee the entire operation of a complex, automated warehouse and ensure it perfectly aligns with the growth ambitions of our customers and DSV itself. Through your vision and experience, you are able to design future-proof processes, identify commercial opportunities, and implement improvements that add value in both the short and long term.

You are visibly present on the shop floor, motivating, developing, and empowering employees. At the same time, you act as an equal partner for (international) customers on a tactical and strategic level. You translate customer expectations into concrete plans and ensure alignment between operations, IT, customer needs, and business objectives.

Additionally, you are responsible for monitoring and achieving KPIs, managing performance and workforce, and overseeing the financial results (P&L) of the site. You leverage data and automation to enable continuous optimisation. You also actively contribute to fostering an entrepreneurial culture where collaboration, quality, and ownership are central. You achieve this by:

• delivering an efficient operation where KPIs, quality, and customer commitments are central;
• translating customer growth and market dynamics into scalable, future-oriented solutions;
• building strong customer relationships and actively contributing to commercial and contractual development;
• developing an agile and strong team that dares to take responsibility and shows initiative.

Your team stands out within DSV for its strong combination of operational drive, craftsmanship, and ownership. It is a close-knit and motivated team that challenges each other, celebrates successes, and works together daily to optimise processes and exceed customer expectations.
