Move forward as Facility Supervisor at DSV in Venlo

Do you want to combine technology, leadership and structure in an environment where no two days are the same? As a Facility Supervisor, you ensure that our warehouses remain safe, reliable and future-proof, together with a technical team that you lead, connect and develop.

You get it done

Within our facility team, we have extensive technical expertise in-house. Our colleagues know the buildings, installations and equipment inside out and are responsible for maintenance, troubleshooting and technical work daily. The next step is to bring more structure and consistency to these activities. As a Facility Supervisor, you set the direction. You ensure that maintenance is not only carried out when something breaks down, but is increasingly planned, monitored and documented. You create oversight of what needs to be done across our locations, establish priorities and ensure that your team is deployed in the right place at the right time: you’re on it.

How you do this? You provide directions for day-to-day facility maintenance while simultaneously building a professional and structured way of working. You achieve this by:

• leading the technical facility team in Venlo and Maastricht and establishing clear priorities, task allocations and working agreements. At the same time, you further structure preventive and corrective maintenance activities for our buildings, installations and assets;
• overseeing the ticket workflow and ensuring that reports, malfunctions and maintenance activities are assessed, assigned and completed in a consistent manner. You will also focus on further professionalising our way of working, including maintenance registration, drawing management, procedures and developing a Long-Term Maintenance Plan (LTMP);
• regularly visiting our sites to maintain visibility of the technical condition of the facilities, monitor the progress of activities and understand operational requirements. You actively collaborate with Operations, QHSE, Procurement, Security and suppliers, ensuring that agreements are executed and followed up properly;
• ensuring that inspections, audits and statutory obligations, such as NEN 3140, Scope 8 and 12 inspections and sprinkler inspections, are carried out on time and that any follow-up actions are completed;
• developing your team through knowledge sharing, training and development initiatives, while providing employees with opportunities to grow further within their field of expertise.

Your team stands out within DSV because of its combination of technical expertise and broad employability. You work with specialists who know their own site or area of expertise inside out, as well as colleagues who are deployed flexibly across multiple locations. You understand individual strengths, bring different roles together and build one strong team.

We are DSV, we grow

DSV is a global provider of transport and logistics services. With offices in more than 90 countries and a growing network of partners, there is no place in the world we cannot reach via transport by air, sea, rail, courier or road or where we can offer storage in warehouses.

"In this role, you will have the opportunity to develop people while visibly elevating our technical foundation and processes to the next level," says Sanne Reijnders, Manager Procurement, Facilities & Security.

In the Netherlands, we operate from over 40 branches, with more than 5,000 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

• a background in Engineering, Facility Management, Business Administration or a related field, combined with at least 5 years of leadership experience within a technical or facility environment;
• a people-focused leadership style and the ability to think strategically and tactically, developing people while connecting policy, processes and daily operations;
• a process-oriented and analytical mindset, enabling you to translate bottlenecks into improvements and well-substantiated business cases, with knowledge of audits, long-term maintenance planning, NEN standards and ISO certifications;
• experience with FMIS systems such as Topdesk and/or Planon, as well as Microsoft Office, strong command of both Dutch and English, and a VCA-VOL certificate or willingness to obtain one.

It all counts for this vacancy of facility supervisor in Venlo. Furthermore, it is of course important that you feel at home with us. That will certainly be possible if you like to keep going, have guts and want to grow with DSV.

Working at DSV means working at one of the top players in the logistics market. DSV is entrepreneurial and competitive, which is why we always want to grow as an organization. That is why we are looking for people who want to grow with us. Besides a challenging job in an international environment we also offer:

• a salary based on your knowledge and experience, calculated on a 40-hour working week;
• 24 vacation days and 4 flexible ADV days, with the possibility of purchasing an additional 2 weeks of leave annually;
• the opportunity to lead a highly skilled technical facility team consisting of Facility Coordinators, Facility Specialists, an ITM Specialist and Facility Assistants across our Venlo and Maastricht locations;
• a role with plenty of freedom and variety, where you are not constantly behind a desk but regularly on the work floor and visiting different sites;
• extensive opportunities for training and personal development. We are equally committed to developing your technical expertise. In addition, you will receive unlimited access to our DSV Academy.

Move forward

We will only contact you via our official company email addresses (e.g., @dsv.com or @nl.dsv.com) and never reach out to candidates through personal email providers such as Gmail or Hotmail.
