Move forward as Freight Forwarder at DSV in Tilburg

Would you like to use your experience with efficient transport solutions within an international organisation that is constantly moving forward? At DSV, you contribute to smart, efficient and future-proof road transport solutions.

You get it done

At our road transport location in Tilburg, you ensure efficient and reliable planning of international shipments. You are an expert in building and maintaining both internal and external networks: you’re on it.

How do you do this? You are responsible for the complete planning process, from planning to invoicing. It is your task to plan these trucks as fully and efficiently as possible, both on outbound and return trips. You achieve this by:

• ensuring correct and timely delivery of shipments through efficient planning with the highest possible loading capacity, using systems such as CIEL and iTMS;


• monitoring shipments in real time and proactively responding to deviations, safety challenges and operational disruptions;


• creating and monitoring rate agreements for purchased transport and steering on these within the daily operation;


• proactively communicating with customers and partners, tracking shipments and identifying irregularities during collection and delivery of shipments.

Your team stands out within DSV because of the no-nonsense mentality, short communication lines and strong collaboration. Everyone works hard, but there is always room for humour and teamwork. Together, you continue to professionalise the planning department.

In the Netherlands, we operate from more than 40 locations with over 5,000 colleagues. Together we take on the challenges of a rapidly changing environment. We make quick decisions at every level and combine ambition with teamwork. This is how we move forward and make a difference together.

• a good command of both the Dutch and English language;


• knowledge of MS Office and automated planning systems;


• knowledge of driving and rest time regulations.
