Junior Freight Forwarder

Move forward as Junior Freight Forwarder DSV in Maastricht Airport

Are you looking for an exciting career in logistics where you can truly make a difference? Join our team in Maastricht Airport and become part of a global leader in air freight solutions for the healthcare sector.

You get it done

In this versatile role, you'll ensure that complex air freight shipments of healthcare products run smoothly from start to finish. You play a crucial role in organising and overseeing these shipments, which are often both temperature- and time-sensitive. No two days are the same, and you’re an essential part of the process. You’re on it.

How you do this? Even if you have no prior experience in healthcare air freight, at DSV, we train you from day one within the team to learn all the ins and outs of the job. With your attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and customer-oriented approach, you ensure every shipment reaches its destination safely and on time. You achieve this by:

• booking space and selecting the best routing for shipments with various airlines;
• monitoring shipments daily to ensure they are delivered to the destination on time and within temperature specifications;
• maintaining international contact with clients, airlines, and other agents;
• assisting in the preparation of documentation and customs processes;
• effectively finding solutions within the specified quality requirements.

Your team stands out within DSV because you'll be joining a close and driven team of five colleagues, where collaboration is key. The team manages large accounts and coordinates air freight for healthcare products. Our success is built on a strong team spirit, where we continuously share knowledge, support each other, and provide plenty of room for personal growth and development.

We are DSV, we grow

says Ruben Scheffer, Senior Team Lead.

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.

You bring

• minimum MBO (secondary vocational education) level of working and thinking, preferably in transport & logistics;
• experience in logistics, preferably in air freight or healthcare, is a plus but not a must;
