Move forward as Application Engineer at DSV in the Netherlands

Are you able to design, configure and successfully implement complex WMS solutions within our European warehouses? Do you enjoy working at the intersection of IT, logistics and operations, with a high level of autonomy and international impact? Then this is the role for you.

You get it done

In the role of Application Engineer, you contribute to projects at the intersection of IT and operations. You analyse process designs, translate them into application designs and are responsible for configuration and development within, among others, the Blue Yonder Dispatcher warehouse management system. You bring projects to a successful conclusion during the go-live phase. In addition, you configure automated solutions such as AutoStore and add-ons like Packtool, carrier and TMS platforms: you’re on it. How you do this? You work on European projects from design through to go-live. You are content-responsible for the application scope and work closely with project managers, process and integration engineers, IT teams and customers.

Responsibilities include:

• translating requirements into functional and technical application designs for the WMS;
• building and configuring solutions within the CargoWrite WMS suite (including Blue Yonder Dispatcher);
• executing FAT testing and guiding system, integration and user acceptance testing;
• supporting customer implementations and on-site go-lives within European DSV warehouses;
• assessing the impact of changes and safeguarding quality, documentation and performance;
• acting as the subject-matter expert for WMS-related topics within projects.

Your team stands out within DSV by supporting the business in general and streamlining customer processes. Together, you deliver projects across Europe, where remote collaboration, knowledge sharing and ownership are key. Independence is important, but you are never on your own.
