Freight Solutions Coordinator
At Samskip, we are constantly working on making our goods transport more sustainable. Will you help us with this by ensuring optimal loading?
As one of the largest transport companies in Europe, Samskip offers transport by sea, land, and rail. We are constantly looking at how our services to our customers can be even better and at the same time how we can make our transport solutions more high-quality and sustainable. This means, among other things, that we want to use our assets (vessels, trains, barges, and trucks) as efficiently as possible and use the filling capacity as optimally as possible. As a Freight Solutions Coordinator, you will be part of the Freight Solutions team that is part of the Inland Transport Operations Department at our location in Zwolle, this is an important task for you.
Purchasing and Outsourcing Haulage Capacity

Fluctuating order flows from our regular Door-to-Door and Quay-to-Quay customers sometimes make an optimal filling level of our assets challenging. Sometimes the orders of our regular customers are lower and sometimes higher for many different reasons. Of course, we do not sell our customers a ’no’ and as a Freight Solutions Coordinator you always provide a solution. This means that if there are insufficient for our current capacity you approach customers with irregular booking patterns and issue quotes to new customers who come from your built-up network as well as through internet platforms such as the digital freight market places platforms (Timocom, Teleroute, U-Turn, etc). When orders are too high for the existing capacity, you outsource under the best possible conditions. Finally, you will also develop your own portfolio of customers regardless of demands of our regular customers. You are responsible for the profitability. Your activities also include:

• Coordinating order entry, execution, planning and bookings coming in through the Freight Solutions team.
• Coordinating the required capacity with your colleagues from Truck Planning & Intermodal teams on our most important connecting routes in Germany and Benelux
• Helping to reduce empty mileage on the truck planning department by looking for reloads, outsourcing orders or new flows to balance out a given area.
• Entering agreed revenues and costs for attracting and outsourcing volume.
• Administrative tasks, such as creating new customers and loads and managing delays.
