About this job
Do you know the freight forwarding business inside out and can you arrange a transport from A to Z? In this office-based role, you’re the central link between the client, carrier, and colleagues. You coordinate national and international transports, negotiate rates, and ensure everything arrives on time and within margins. Discover your next challenge in an international working environment in the Venlo region!
Our client is a leading transport company in the Venlo region with a rich history and a strong international focus. With 250 skilled professionals, they tackle logistical challenges worldwide: from transport to assembly and installation, and from warehousing to project management and advice on customs procedures. Customer satisfaction and quality come first.
As a forwarding agent, you are responsible for national and international road transport and intermodal transport. You work from the office, not in the hall or warehouse, and are involved from start to finish:
- You advise the client on the most efficient logistics solution and prepare the quotation.
- You book transports and negotiate rates with carriers.
- You arrange the customs documents and other administration.
- You closely monitor the shipment and identify problems before they arise.
- You arrange storage and transshipment where necessary.
- You stay within the set margins, transport costs, and service levels.
You are the main point of contact for clients, carriers, and colleagues. That’s why you communicate clearly and effortlessly adapt to whoever you’re speaking with. Once delivery is complete, your job isn’t done: you identify areas for improvement in the process and spot commercial opportunities with existing and new clients for the commercial department.
