Our ambition is to make our customers smarter by providing good insight, demonstrably improving performance and smartly reducing costs and CO2 emissions. Here, Europe is our working area with specialisations in the chemical, food and trade & manufacturing industries. Frost-free or conditioned transport, whether or not in combination with ADR goods, we know the way.
As Transport Manager, you and your team determine priorities and ensure that questions are dealt with quickly and correctly. You are in constant dialogue with customers about their transport needs, regular transports, rush orders and specific transport issues and you look for the best solutions within our network and otherwise outside it. You are also actively involved in optimising processes and coaching your team.
Periodically, you create rate sheets for shippers and our carriers based on our customers’ cargo flows and ensure that these are prepared for recording in our Transport Management System (TMS). You are leading in this. You also ensure that, for example, diesel oil surcharges are determined, communicated to carriers and shippers and recorded. Searching for efficiency and immersing yourself in the customer’s cargo flows and the partners’ specialities is what it’s all about.
Moreover, you will have the opportunity to take on other tasks, such as career management or you will take on the role of quality manager or safety advisor. Do you see opportunities for IDS? Indicate it and we’ll see if we can develop it together. That way you can grow personally.
Your workplace? Our office in De Meern, where you can enjoy good facilities such as delicious coffee. Of course we also organise fun activities outside working hours and you can use Goodhabitz, the online learning platform with lots of useful and enjoyable training courses. This is how you keep developing yourself at IDS!
