Summary
Know transportation and cargo security and thrive in an environment where attention to detail and quick decisions matter?
DSV is looking for a Senior Freight Security Specialist to monitor and support the secure movement of high-value and high-risk freight across our transportation network. This role is a great fit for someone who understands transportation operations, cargo security, and shipment monitoring and knows how to identify risk, evaluate exceptions, and respond when something doesn't look right.
You’ll monitor active shipments and security technology using GPS, telematics, geofencing, cargo security devices, and other tracking tools while reviewing routing, secure parking, seal controls, chain-of-custody requirements, and customer-specific security protocols. When an alert or exception occurs, you’ll evaluate the available information, assess the potential risk, and determine the appropriate action, escalation, or additional security controls.
Beyond real-time monitoring, you’ll help identify cargo theft trends, recurring security gaps, device and process failures, and operational vulnerabilities that may create additional risk. You’ll conduct security reviews, maintain accurate incident and shipment information, and work with Operations, Safety, Compliance, and external partners as appropriate to support security events and strengthen cargo security practices.
This position operates on a 7 days on / 7 days off overnight schedule, Tuesday through Monday, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 AM. You’ll work seven consecutive overnight shifts followed by seven consecutive days off.
If you bring transportation or cargo security experience, strong judgment, and the ability to stay focused in a fast-moving monitoring environment, this is an opportunity to apply those skills and continue growing your career with the world’s largest freight forwarding and logistics company.
Start Here. Go Anywhere.
