Move forward as Facility Specialist at DSV in Almelo

Changing a light bulb at our office? A sealing machine not working properly? Ordering extra packing materials? As a facility specialist in our new 60,000 m2 warehouse, you know exactly what to do!

You get it done

DSV's core business is providing 3-PL services to our customers. To do this, you and your facility colleagues ensure timely maintenance of our facilities and machinery. And all that in a brand-new building in Almelo: you’re on it!

How you do this? With a large dose of common sense, two right hands and the necessary technical knowledge, you monitor all facility activities and processes. You keep an eye on contracts, certifications and service level agreements and make sure they remain up to date. In addition, you are the first point of contact for the operation when it comes to packaging materials and other supplies in the warehouse. Finally, you coordinate waste flows, cleaning activities and other maintenance activities. You achieve this by:

• handling first-line fault reports, carrying out or outsourcing technical maintenance on our buildings, business equipment and infrastructure;


• purchasing facility services and coordinating these;


• delivering and managing the stock of consumables, such as tape, pallets, packaging materials and more.

Your team stands out within DSV for its inexhaustible knowledge of buildings and installations. We have all the knowledge and expertise in house to carry out structured maintenance and make a thorough initial analysis in case of breakdowns and/or resolve them.

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.

“It feels like my own company; you need to have”,says Wilfred Notten, Supervisor Facility and Security.

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.

• command of both Dutch and English;


• common sense, practical attitude and solution-oriented thinking;


• be able to work independently in a sometimes hectic environment;


• if you are already in possession of a lift and/or reach truck certificate, this is certainly an advantage. Otherwise, we offer you the opportunity to obtain these via DSV.

It all counts for this vacancy of facility specialist in Almelo. 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.
