Logistics employee (bol)

For the go-getter who likes to keep moving

As a logistics employee, you're the heart of the warehouse. You know where everything is, and where to look for it. If you're not a stickler for time and a go-getter, then this is the right program for you.

You enjoy working in a team and feel responsible for your tasks. You enjoy driving a
forklift or reach truck and when necessary, you will use your muscles.

You're the heart of the warehouse and know where everything is. Sometimes you'll be working with goods like toys, other times with hazardous materials or fresh produce. You handle these responsibly, while also being mindful of the environment. Maintaining inventory, checking delivery notes, and processing everything digitally is also part of the job. You're a master at it.
