Logistics & Shipping Administrative Assistant (36 hours)
Are you detail-oriented, organized, and do you enjoy ensuring that orders are handled properly from both an administrative and logistical standpoint? Then we’re looking for you.
⚠️ Important: This is not a warehouse position
This is a purely administrative office position.
You won't be involved in physical logistics work. You won't receive goods, pack boxes, perform warehouse tasks, or manage the warehouse.
You're the one who handles everything related to shipping from the office.
What are you going to do?
When an order is ready to be shipped, you'll make sure that all shipping-related details are properly taken care of.
Your responsibilities will include, among other things:
- Creating and processing shipping labels through DHL and other carriers.
- Submitting pickup orders to suppliers.
- Processing and verifying shipping information.
- Providing and communicating track-and-trace codes to customers.
- Sending the invoice on the day the order is shipped.
- Answering customer questions about shipments and delivery times.
- Tracking and handling the administrative aspects of shipping issues and transportation complaints.
- Maintain contact with carriers, suppliers, customers, and coworkers.
- Verify that shipments have been processed correctly from an administrative standpoint.
- Identifying and resolving issues related to shipments.
In a sense, you serve as the administrative link between the order, our production department, the carrier, the supplier, and the customer.
What is your typical workday like?
You'll mainly be working on a computer and handling several shipments and orders at the same time throughout the day.
For example, an order is ready to be shipped. You check the details, create the shipping label, arrange for the carrier to pick up the shipment, process the shipment in the system, ensure the customer receives the correct tracking information, and then send the invoice.
If something goes wrong along the way, you’ll handle it. Examples include a delayed shipment, a missing tracking code, an incorrect delivery address, or damage during transit.
You ensure that the logistics process runs smoothly on the computer.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for someone who:
- works accurately and in an organized manner;
- be able to maintain a good overview;
- can easily handle multiple tasks at the same time;
- is strong in administrative matters;
- enjoys spending a lot of time working at a computer;
- can identify and solve problems independently;
- communicates easily with customers, suppliers, and carriers;
- isn't afraid to make a phone call when necessary.
Experience in logistics administration, transportation administration, order processing, or customer service is a plus.
Experience in warehouse work is not required for this position.
Experience with Microsoft Office and/or ERP systems is a plus.
A good command of the Dutch language is important. English is preferred, and German is a plus.
