How do you do this? From Monday to Friday, you are in daily contact with your customers, the sender, co-loaders, and (international) colleagues. Shipments are in your capable hands, because you ensure they are booked on time with and transported by the co-loader or our own gateways and carriers.

• converting customer orders into bookings with co-loaders, gateways, and carriers;

Additionally, you will find a lot of fun and enjoyment in the team, the lines of communication are short, and it’s okay if you still have things to learn. We are always looking for talent!
