Forwarder
Are you looking for a dynamic role as a Freight Forwarder and do you have an affinity for logistics? Do you have a smooth way of communicating and enjoy having frequent contact with customers and drivers? Then we are looking for you for our location in Ridderkerk!
What will you do?
It is often thought that a forwarder is solely concerned with arranging transport, but that is not the only thing. A good forwarder not only ensures that the cargo gets from A to B, but also that it happens in the best and most efficient way. A forwarder negotiates the price, has a lot of contact with the customer and drivers, and ensures the correct documentation related to transport. In Ridderkerk, there is an experienced and close-knit team of forwarders looking for reinforcement. Your daily tasks include:
Arranging transport for the cargo.
Close contact with the customer and drivers.
Negotiating the price and ensuring the correct documentation.
Administrative processing of files.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, proactive forwarder who recognizes themselves in the following points:
At least an MBO-4 or HBO education in logistics, customs, or similar.
At least 2 years of experience as a forwarder, preferably in the AGF sector.
Experience with Softpack is a plus.
Good command of the Dutch language and knowledge of the English and German languages.
You are proactive, precise, and can work well both independently and in a team.
Good communication skills and a solution-oriented attitude.
What do we offer you?
A full-time job in a growing logistics company.
A challenging role in a dynamic and international working environment.
A competitive salary with good secondary employment benefits.
Opportunities for further training and development.
More vacation days than legally determined.
A pleasant working atmosphere within an experienced, committed, and driven team.
In the world of transport and logistics, tight coordination is indispensable. As a Forwarder, you ensure that shipments arrive efficiently and according to schedule at the right destination. We work progressively on smart logistics solutions and continuously optimize our processes. In a warm working environment, you are the connecting link between customers, carriers, and colleagues, and with a decisive approach, you ensure that everything runs smoothly and without delay.
