Transport Coordinator

Dispatch Coordinator

Become part of a new department responsible for the collection of household waste in Svendborg

Can you create structure, overview and coherence in a busy daily operation? Do you want to be involved from the start when we integrate household waste collection into Water and Waste? And are you motivated by making things work in close collaboration with skilled colleagues and your manager?

About the new department

From 1 April 2027, the collection of household waste in Svendborg Municipality will be an integrated part of Water and Waste. The new department will bring together three areas:

• Household-collected household waste
• Recyclable fractions
• Bulky waste

Recyclable fractions and bulky waste are known areas for Water and Waste, while household-collected household waste is new.

The department will comprise 25-30 employees, and investments have already been made in waste collection vehicles, a washing hall and a completely new operations building.

In the start-up phase, processes and workflows must be developed and established, and thereafter a good daily operation must be secured. Therefore we are looking for a dispatch coordinator who can help create structure, coordination and follow-up.

Your tasks

As a dispatch coordinator, your primary tasks – together with your manager – are to

• plan and coordinate the daily driving and operation, including routes, task distribution and vehicle availability
• follow up on tasks, agreements and deadlines so nothing falls through the cracks
• handle operational challenges and make the necessary decisions
• support management with data, key figures, reporting and administrative tasks
• coordinate with customers, colleagues and the rest of the organization, as well as act as a link between operations and administration
• build and develop the processes and workflows that will sustain the department

The position is a coordinating role without personnel responsibility, and you report to the head of the collection schemes.

Are you structured and motivated by making things work?

The most important thing is that you have a strong administrative and organizational profile and understand what it takes to make a daily operation hang together. You thrive with responsibility, but are primarily motivated by creating overview and ensuring that agreements and tasks are followed through.

We imagine that you have

• experience with administration, planning and coordination – preferably within operations, driving or logistics
• a sense for structure, overview and follow-up
• good IT skills and a desire to work with data, key figures and digital planning tools
• good communication skills across the organization – with colleagues, customers and partners
• an understanding of operations and logistics. Experience with route planning and household waste is an advantage, but not a necessity
• Driver's license for a regular car, but also ideally for a truck.

Your personality

You are steady, loyal and collaborative. You thrive in a busy daily life with many tasks in play at the same time, and you are good at getting them completed.

You are positive by nature, enjoy working with people from different backgrounds, and you remain calm when plans may need to be changed.

Regardless of whether you live locally or not, you are curious and eager to learn about local conditions and understand customer needs.

Application deadline: 30 November 2026

We look forward to hearing from you.
