DFDS - WE MOVE FOR ALL TO GROW

Do you enjoy being part of a valued team within our organization? And are you looking for a position in which you can help shape our company together with the team? If so, you could just as well be our newest addition to our team as a Commercial vehicle & trailer mechanic!

DFDS is large in road, air, and sea transport as well as the countless logistical services that go hand in hand with this. Think, for example, of customs services, packaging, warehousing, cross-docking, and much more. By being able to offer a total solution to our customers, we change the way of transporting and remain the logistical movement of Europe.

From its founding in 1866 until now, DFDS has grown enormously. We now have more than 11,000 employees and together we connect more than 20 countries. We ensure that Europe never stands still. Becoming part of our team therefore means having an impact. Everyone who works with us works towards our common drive: "we move for all to grow".

DFDS Nijmegen is the specialist in the field of transport of temperature-controlled foodstuffs to and from the United Kingdom, France, Benelux, and Northern Ireland, and the resulting services, such as our packaging concepts, storage, and transshipment. DFDS Nijmegen therefore offers a total package, with which all links within the logistics chain can be taken over. Caring for the end product of our client is the starting point of our logistical services.

Our colleagues are working 24/7 to transport goods, which you also encounter daily in supermarkets, from A to B. But as you can read above, we do much more than just transport; we also commit ourselves with packaging concepts, and the washing and repairing of crates in which goods are transported. We have a large storage and transshipment facility where goods are kept for a few hours before they are transported again, and we also have internal handymen who ensure that the trucks and trailers can always be on the road. A total package with which we support the customer from A to Z!
