Shape the future of international project logistics with us.
Join our Shipment Planning team and take responsibility for preparing and coordinating complex ocean transports for national and international projects. In this role, you will connect operational logistics, project requirements, and internal interfaces to ensure transparent, efficient, and reliable shipment planning.

Responsibilities:

• Planning ocean transports for national and international projects—on schedule, cost-consciously, and in close coordination with the relevant specialist departments;
• Consolidating project requirements during the dynamic operational phase to optimize cargo volumes for ocean shipments as effectively as possible;
• Reviewing network plan requirements and relevant dates in SAP SCM and deriving the necessary shipment planning;
• Actively monitoring schedule changes and adjusting the system-based planning when network plan dates change;
• Visualizing shipment data for internal colleagues using common software solutions such as Power BI;
• Coordinating shipment volumes, material availability, delivery strategies, and potential destination ports with internal interfaces;
• Providing complete and timely notifications of procurement requirements for ocean-going vessels to Global Procurement or Chartering;
• Preparing packing lists for shipments as the basis for structured operational execution;
• Providing central information to internal contacts about upcoming shipments so that downstream processes can be initiated in good time;

What we’re looking for:

We are looking for an experienced, structured, and communicative individual who has already independently supported or managed logistics projects. You understand complex operational and project-related interdependencies, can assess requirements from different specialist departments, and reliably translate them into feasible transport and shipment plans.
