No day is the same. Customers satisfied, transport on track and malt in the right place.
As a Customer Service Employee at The Swaen, you’re the link between our customers, Sales and carriers. You keep a close eye on the transport process by land and sea, respond quickly to problems and make sure our customers know where they stand.
You work with the dynamic natural product malt for customers all over the world. That makes your job varied, sometimes challenging – but never boring.
What will you do?
- You make sure our customers receive their malt on time and as agreed.
- You proactively keep customers informed about the status of their orders and any deviations.
- You carefully process order information and details in our order-processing system.
- Together with Sales, you coordinate the daily transport process by land and sea.
- You respond quickly to logistical challenges: from delays and changed sailing schedules in the port to varying customer requirements.
- You help customers in a friendly, solution-focused way and ensure questions, complaints and reports are handled properly.
- You work with various systems, including customer and carrier systems.
Where will you be working?
- You work between 08:00 and 18:00 and get the freedom and responsibility to largely organise your own working day.
- You’ll become part of a small, close-knit team of 3 Customer Service colleagues and 3 colleagues in Sales. We work closely together, help each other where needed and keep communication lines short. The atmosphere is informal and personal, while you work within an organisation with customers all over the world.
What do you bring?
It’s a bonus if you already have experience organising (international) sea transport and knowledge of export documentation, such as phytosanitary certificates, CVO, EX-A and B/L. But we think it’s more important that you are:
- Customer-oriented and a strong communicator.
- Well organised and able to set priorities.
- Able to adapt quickly when plans change.
- Accurate in your work.
- Have an affinity for logistics.
- A team player who isn’t afraid to take responsibility.
Don’t have all the knowledge yet? No problem. Are you curious, eager to learn and quick to pick up new things? Then we’ll happily teach you the rest.
Working at The Swaen
The Swaen is a Dutch family business with a history of over a hundred years. We make quality malts: the key ingredient in beer and whisky. Our malt also finds its way into the food industry.
From the Netherlands, we supply customers all over the world, from major players to craft brewers. An international working environment, then – but with the down-to-earth, sociable feel of a family business.
