Your ambition is to realise the best, fastest, and most efficient transport solutions for our customers! Are you looking for a challenging role in which you make use of advanced technologies to ensure high value cargo is transported safely across Europe? Then the position of freight forwarder at DSV is perfect for you!

You make it happen

As a freight forwarder, you are in control of arranging transport shipments quickly and efficiently. You are an expert in building and maintaining both internal and external networks. You're on it!

How do you do this? From Venlo, a number of trucks depart every day to various destinations all over the world. This can be an FTL (full-truckload), an LTL (less-than-truckload), or a truck filled with groupage shipments. Your task is to schedule these trucks as fully and efficiently as possible, both on the outbound and return journeys. You achieve this by;

• ensuring the correct and timely delivery of shipments and efficiently planning them to achieve the highest possible load factor;
• monitoring shipments in real time and responding proactively to any safety issues;
• negotiating rates for purchased transport;
• proactively communicating and informing customers and partners. You follow up on your shipments and identify irregularities regarding loading, unloading, or delivery.

Your team at DSV stands out due to its strong mix of experienced and junior planners. Helping each other and growing is the top priority. A thorough onboarding period is, of course, part of this. Together with your team, no transport solution is impossible.

In the Netherlands, we operate from more than 25 locations with over 3,000 colleagues. Together, we take on the challenges of a rapidly changing environment. We make quick decisions at every level and combine ambition with teamwork. That is how we move forward and make a difference together.

• proficiency with MS Office and the ability to quickly learn new systems.
