Logistics Coordinator

Ambitious People Realising Creative Logistics Solutions.

Where will you be working?
Royal Den Hartogh Logistics is a leading logistics service provider for the chemical, gas, polymer, and food industries. Founded in 1920 in the Netherlands, our family-owned company strongly focuses on safety and sustainability. Together with our customers and suppliers, we develop smart logistics solutions that contribute to a more efficient supply chain. We operate worldwide with 58 locations in 28 countries. Our team consists of over 2,700 employees, and we manage a modern fleet of 25,000 tank containers, 4,900 dry bulk containers and trailers, 575 tank trailers, and nearly 900 trucks.

Worklocation

You will be working for WHS Logistics, our joint venture between Den Hartogh and Wilmar International. While officially employed by Den Hartogh, you will work at Wilmar’s office. This offers the best of both worlds: you benefit from Den Hartogh’s employment conditions and development opportunities while also enjoying the social activities organized by both Den Hartogh and WHS for their employees.

What will you be doing?
As a Logistics Coordinator, you are the key link between all involved parties: producers (our customers), operators at production sites, and carrier planners. In addition to daily transport planning and coordination, you actively contribute to Continuous Improvement. You identify incidents and deviations, propose improvements, and provide recommendations for follow-up actions based on KPIs. In short: you ensure a smooth operation while also driving structural optimization!

You will manage the transport of customer products across Europe while working in-house at an international, fast-growing company specializing in vegetable fats and oils. From a prime location near Rotterdam Central, you will coordinate the transportation of packaged liquids and palletized goods between production sites and end customers. You will collaborate closely with producers, operators, and carriers.

• Order Processing: Register orders in the Freight Management System (FMS) and determine the optimal transport solution (IBCs or bagged goods);

• Transport Planning: Assign a carrier, coordinate with operators, and inform the customer;

• Coordination & Communication: Liaise with carriers, loading locations, and occasionally the end customer;

• Problem-Solving: Quickly and efficiently resolve transport-related issues;

• Administration: Document details, record additional costs, and prepare orders for invoicing.

The ideal candidate:

• MBO/HBO work and thinking level, with at least 1-3 years of work experience in logistics;

• You are proactive, a self-starter, accurate, communicative, a team player, and solution-oriented;

• Strong communication in Dutch and English, both written and spoken;

• You live in the Rotterdam area (maximum 45 minutes travel time) to ensure quick responsiveness when needed;

• Familiar with Microsoft Office Suite.

What do we offer?

• Competitive salary, laptop & phone, 30 vacation days (based on full-time employment), travel allowance, flexible working hours, and a pension scheme;

• A challenging role with plenty of independence, flexibility, and responsibility in a growing and informal organization with ambitious goals;

• A strong focus on personal growth and development, with access to over 500 training courses through our own DH Academy;

• Collaboration in an international, family-oriented environment with colleagues from all over the world;

• And last but not least: a great working atmosphere and many extra perks, such as a caring budget & access to Benefits at Work, offering discounts on fun outings and more.
