Move forward as s Senior Project Manager at DSV in the Netherlands

Do you enjoy leading large-scale logistics projects with real impact? This is your opportunity to make a difference. At DSV, you’ll get the freedom and trust to realise complex projects from start to finish – whether on new or existing sites.

You get it done

You work on strategic projects where logistics processes are being redesigned and automated. You play a key role in delivering these complex projects: you’re on it.
How you do this? By ensuring the successful execution of large, complex projects within our Contract Logistics division across all Dutch locations. You achieve this by:

• leading multidisciplinary teams of 7 to 20 professionals and combining different areas of expertise to bring the project to a successful outcome;
• overseeing timelines of 9 to 24 months and managing project budgets of €10–20 million;
• coordinating with internal and external stakeholders – including partner companies and government agencies – and building a strong network to get the right people and resources at the right time.

You bring structure and efficiency to automation projects, whether on new build sites or existing locations. With a keen eye on all interests at play, you steer progress, provide senior leadership with critical advice, and ensure all developments align with contractual frameworks and business cases. From the work floor to executive board, you keep everyone informed through proactive communication and effective change management.

Your team stands out within DSV by its mix of experience, technical expertise, and drive to deliver complex projects together. You’ll work with committed colleagues from engineering to operations, closely collaborating on logistics solutions for both new builds and existing facilities.
