Chauffør til distribution — DSV, Horsens (Denmark) Full Time

If you hold a CE driving licence and you’ve been thinking about distribution driving in Denmark, this DSV role in Horsens (Midtjylland) is a solid option to look at. It’s a full-time, weekday day-shift role with early starts (05:00) and typical finishes around 15:00-16:00 — meaning you’re home for the evening. The pay is set per the applicable Danish collective agreement, with no individual kr figure stated on the posting. What’s not mentioned is any visa or work-permit support, so this is a fit if you already have the right to work in Denmark.

Quick Job Overview

About the Employer

DSV A/S is one of the world’s largest transport-and-logistics companies, providing road, air, sea and contract-logistics services worldwide. The company is headquartered in Hedehusene, Denmark, and is listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen (ticker: DSV). DSV Road A/S is the Danish road and distribution division, operating pickup, distribution and line-haul transport across Denmark. The group employs around 150,000 people across more than 90 countries.

For an applicant considering this role, what matters is that DSV is a stable, well-known Danish-headquartered employer with proper HR processes and an official careers sub-domain of its own (jobs.dsv.com). You would be applying directly on the employer’s own site, not through a recruiter or aggregator, and the posting carries a real job reference number you can quote when you follow up.

What This Role Involves

As a Chauffør til distribution based at DSV’s Horsens terminal, your day starts early — 05:00 — with vehicle preparation and loading. You then drive a fixed distribution route across Jutland, delivering to a mix of businesses, shops, construction sites and private customers. A typical route covers 20 to 25 customers, which means you build real relationships with the people on your route rather than doing one-off drops.

Most shifts finish between 15:00 and 16:00, which is one of the practical advantages of this role — you’re home for the evening, not driving through the night. The work is weekday-only, and DSV mentions that flexible working-time arrangements are available if needed.

The role is genuinely field-based — you’re out on the road for most of the shift, operating a modern truck from DSV’s distribution fleet. You’ll use scanner equipment for tracking and customer service points, and you’re the face of DSV for the people on your route.

Required Skills and Qualifications

DSV lists the hard requirements clearly on the posting. You need:

• A valid CE driving licence (Danish CE-kørekort — articulated lorry / tractor + semi-trailer).
• EU Certificate of Professional Competence (Danish EU-kvalifikationsbevis — Code 95 driver CPC).
• ADR / Dangerous Goods certificate (Danish ADR/Farligt Gods-bevis).
• Reliable attendance and a customer-service mindset — you’ll be dealing with the same customers regularly.
• Collaborative team orientation — you’ll be part of DSV’s wider Jutland distribution team.

Prior experience in distribution driving, load securing, scanner equipment or freight/logistics is listed as “an advantage but not a requirement.” DSV’s stated priority is the right attitude and willingness to learn, which means career-changers with a CE licence and the right mindset are welcome to apply.

Pay, Benefits, and Relocation Support

DSV does not state an individual kr figure on the posting. The wording is “Løn efter overenskomst og altid til tiden” — salary per the applicable Danish collective agreement (overenskomst), always paid on time. In practical terms, that means your pay, overtime, shift allowances and holiday pay are set by the Danish transport-sector collective agreement between DSV and the relevant trade union (typically 3F — Fagligt Fælles Forbund). For a CE distribution driver on a Danish collective agreement, the total package typically includes pension contributions, 5 weeks of paid holiday plus additional days, and overtime/shift premiums.

Beyond the headline pay, DSV mentions thorough onboarding and ongoing support from experienced colleagues. The posting itself does not itemise all benefits — confirm specifics with DSV during the application process.

Relocation support is not specified on the posting. If you’re based outside Horsens or outside Denmark, do not assume any assistance with moving costs — confirm directly with DSV before applying if this matters to you.

Work Permit and Visa Note

This is the single most important clarification on this page: the posting does not mention visa sponsorship, work-permit support, or any relocation assistance. Denmark has priority rules for non-EU/EEA applicants, and most Danish employers — including DSV — hire from within Denmark or the EU/EEA pool first.

That means:

• If you are a Danish citizen or hold an EU/EEA passport, you can apply without restriction.
• If you already hold a valid Danish residence and work permit, you can apply.
• If you are outside the EU/EEA and would need the employer to sponsor a work permit for you, this role is unlikely to be a fit — DSV has not stated any such support for this position.

Denmark does have a general work-permit route for non-EU applicants (via the Positive List or Pay Limit Scheme), but that is a general immigration pathway, not a promise from DSV. We are not stating that DSV sponsors visas in general — only that for this specific posting, no visa support is mentioned. If you need visa sponsorship for Denmark, please look at other roles on JobsRivo where the employer has explicitly stated it.

Who This Role May Suit

This role is a reasonable fit if you:

• Already live in or near Horsens (Midtjylland), or have the right to work in Denmark and are willing to relocate at your own expense.
• Hold a CE driving licence with Code 95 and an ADR certificate.
• Are comfortable with early starts (05:00) and a weekday day-shift pattern.
• Enjoy building relationships with regular customers on a fixed route.
• Want a permanent full-time role with a large, established Danish-headquartered logistics employer.

It is not a fit if you are outside the EU/EEA and need an employer to sponsor a work permit. For that situation, look for roles where the employer has explicitly stated visa support.

Required Documents

The posting itself does not itemise every document, but standard Danish haulage application practice and the requirements above mean you should have ready:

• A current CV in Danish, with your most recent driving roles and dates.
• Copies of your CE driving licence, Code 95 (EU-kvalifikationsbevis), and ADR certificate.
• Proof of your right to work in Denmark — Danish/EU/EEA passport, Danish ID, or valid Danish residence permit.
• At least two contactable references from previous driving employers.
• A short cover note in Danish explaining why you’re applying and confirming your availability in Horsens.

If you are missing any of these — particularly the right-to-work proof — don’t apply yet. Resolve that first.
