Job Req Number: 116643
Time Type: Full Time

Move forward as TMS Application Engineer at DSV in Moerdijk or Venlo

Would you like to work at the intersection of logistics, IT, and operations within an international organisation that is constantly evolving? As a TMS application engineer at DSV, you will have the opportunity to make a direct impact on our daily transport operations in the Netherlands and Belgium. You ensure our systems run smoothly, processes are optimised, and users receive the best possible support.

You get it done

You play a key role in the management and further development of our Transport Management System (SCE). Thanks to your analytical mindset and accurate way of working, our transport processes remain efficient, stable, and future-proof: you’re on it.

How you do this? As a TMS application engineer, you are the key link between IT, operations, and our transport partners. You are responsible for the functional management, maintenance, and further optimisation of our Transport Management System (TMS/SCE), which supports our daily transport operations across the Netherlands and Belgium. Thanks to your analytical skills and precise way of working, systems continue to run reliably and processes remain fully aligned with operational needs. You are involved in analysing and resolving incidents, processing change requests, and carrying out functional configurations and testing. In doing so, you ensure disruptions are resolved quickly and users can rely on a well-functioning system.

In this role, you work closely with colleagues from operations, IT, and external carriers. You translate operational requirements and challenges into smart system solutions and actively contribute ideas for improvements within the TMS landscape. In addition, you monitor system performance, data quality, and the continuity of transport processes, while contributing to optimisation and standardisation initiatives across the organisation. No two days are the same: one moment you may be solving a complex system issue, while the next you are involved in testing and implementing new functionalities that directly impact our logistics operations. You achieve this by:

• managing and handling incidents, changes, and service requests via ServiceNow;
• analysing and resolving TMS- and SCE-related issues and user queries;
• carrying out functional configurations, testing, and implementing system changes;
• translating operational requirements into smart and practical system solutions;
• monitoring system performance, data quality, and transport process stability;
• contributing to optimisation, standardisation, and continuous improvement within the TMS landscape.

Your team stands out within DSV by its short communication lines, specialist expertise, and strong collaboration between IT and operations. You will join a small and committed TMS/SCE team within DSV Transport Solutions, where colleagues support one another, share knowledge, and continuously seek improvements in systems and processes together.

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 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

• experience with or a strong affinity for Transport Management Systems (TMS); experience with SCE is an advantage;
• experience in application management and/or functional management within a logistics environment;
• experience with ServiceNow or a similar ticketing or ITSM system;
• an analytical mindset and a structured, accurate way of working;
• strong communication skills and the ability to interact effectively with IT, users, and operations;
• a good command of both Dutch and English, spoken and written.

It all counts for this vacancy of TMS application engineer in Venlo or Moerdijk. 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.
