As a Ship Spares Specialist, your day kicks off at full speed. Grab a fresh cup of coffee and immediately check the status of active critical shipments. A vessel is grounded somewhere across the globe, urgently needing replacement parts.

• Safeguard tight deadlines, compliance regulations, and strict quality standards.
• Proactively identify bottlenecks and propose practical workflow improvements.

Requirements

• Minimum of 2 years of proven working experience in airfreight forwarding (mandatory).
• Experience in the ship spares sector is highly preferred: everyone with ship spares experience is welcome!
• Fluent in English (working proficiency); Dutch language skills are an advantage.
• Security Clearance (VGB): You must be eligible to obtain a Dutch Certificate of No Objection (Verklaring van Geen Bezwaar / VGB), which requires having lived continuously and uninterruptedly in the European Union / EEA for at least the past 8 years (strict mandatory requirement).
• Proactive team player with a hands-on mindset who takes initiative.
• Strong communication skills; confident picking up the phone to get things moving.
• Resilient under pressure with an eye for clear prioritization.

What We Offer

• Competitive gross monthly salary between € 3,000 and € 3,900 (commensurate with experience).
• Travel allowance for commuting.
• 25 paid vacation days per year (full-time basis).
• Direct contract with our client through Staffice.
