Job description

Are you passionate about international shipping, ocean freight operations and keeping global supply chains running smoothly? Do you enjoy coordinating international shipments, improving logistics processes and making sure goods arrive at the right place at the right time? Then this could be your next opportunity!

At HVEG Group, we are looking for an Logistics & Supply chain coördinator who combines strong organisational skills with a hands-on approach to international logistics. In this role, you will take responsibility for coordinating ocean freight shipments, managing transport planning and ensuring efficient inbound and outbound logistics operations.

You will work in an international environment where collaboration, efficiency and continuous improvement are key. Your main workplace will be our office in Leusden, and you will also spend one day per week at our location in Drunen. By coordinating local logistics activities and aligning processes between both locations, you will contribute to a smooth and efficient supply chain.

What will you do?

As an Logistics & Supply chain coördinator, you will play an important role in managing our international freight operations, with a strong focus on ocean freight and container shipping. You will oversee shipments from planning to delivery, work closely with freight forwarders, carriers, suppliers and internal teams, and ensure that logistics processes run efficiently.

You will also identify opportunities to improve transport planning, reduce costs and optimise our international supply chain. Whether you are resolving shipping delays, coordinating container shipments or improving logistics performance, you will take ownership and keep things moving.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Coordinate and monitor international ocean freight shipments, including inbound sea freight operations and, when required, air and rail transport.
• Manage inbound and outbound logistics processes to ensure efficient goods flows and on-time delivery of customer orders.
• Develop and optimise transport schedules, container planning and shipment consolidation based on forecasts, available capacity and delivery requirements.
• Identify and resolve shipping delays, transport disruptions and operational bottlenecks in collaboration with freight forwarders, carriers and suppliers.
• Maintain relationships with international logistics partners and monitor freight rates, transport agreements, contracts and shipping costs.
• Analyse logistics performance, transport costs and supply chain KPIs to identify opportunities for operational improvements.
• Initiate and implement improvements in ocean freight operations, transport efficiency and logistics processes to optimise costs and performance.
• Ensure accurate shipping documentation, transport administration and compliance with relevant customs procedures, international trade regulations and contractual agreements.

What do we offer?

At HVEG Group, you will become part of an international organisation where entrepreneurship, collaboration and personal development are highly valued. You will have the opportunity to take initiative, contribute ideas and make a real impact on our international logistics operations.

In addition, we offer:

• A gross monthly salary between €3,188.84 and €4,556.07, based on a full-time position, depending on your knowledge and experience (salary grade 6 of the HVEG Job & Salary Framework).
• A full-time employment contract of 40 hours per week.
• 8% holiday allowance, 25 vacation days and 3 additional HVEG days based on full-time employment.
• Access to the HVEG Academy, offering training and personal development opportunities.
• Mental wellbeing support through OpenUp.
• A monthly chair massage at the office.
• A contribution towards your gym membership and a discount on health insurance.
• The opportunity to benefit from our company eyewear scheme (Bril van de Zaak).
• Attractive employee discounts across various brands within HVEG Group.
• Opportunities to discover collections from different brands and business units.
• Summer Hours: during June, July and August, you can start your weekend at 12:00 PM on Fridays, in accordance with the applicable policy.

What do you bring to the role?

You are a structured and analytical logistics professional who enjoys working in a dynamic international environment. You know how to manage multiple shipments, anticipate potential disruptions and maintain a clear overview of transport planning and logistics operations.

You combine a proactive, hands-on mindset with strong communication skills and a continuous focus on improving efficiency, service levels and cost performance.

In addition, you bring:

• A bachelor's degree or equivalent working and thinking level (HBO), preferably in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Business Administration or a related field.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience in international logistics, including proven experience with ocean freight or sea freight operations.
• Experience in freight forwarding, transport coordination, container planning and managing inbound and outbound logistics processes.
• Knowledge of international shipping procedures, customs regulations, freight documentation and preferably transport contracts and freight rate agreements.
• Strong organisational, analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage priorities and coordinate with multiple stakeholders.
• Good command of both Dutch and English, written and spoken.
