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:

- 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.
