ABOUT WEERTS LOGISTICS PARKS

Weerts Logistics Parks (“WLP”) is the logistics real estate platform of Weerts Group, a privately owned European group with strong roots in logistics, infrastructure and long-term asset development.

WLP develops, owns and operates high-quality, sustainable logistics parks across Europe, with a strong focus on:

YOUR MISSION

As Business Developer Germany, you will play a central role in growing WLP’s German platform by originating occupier-driven opportunities and converting them into long-term logistics real estate solutions. You will act as the commercial bridge between logistics operators, end-users, brokers and WLP’s internal development teams.

• Understand occupiers’ operational needs and translate them into real estate solutions (BTS, phased developments, expansions).
• Build and maintain a strong network with logistics brokers, advisors, municipalities and local stakeholders.
• Actively monitor market dynamics (rents, incentives, land scarcity, occupier demand).

Development support (commercial input)

• Provide commercial input to early-stage development decisions: tenant targeting, sizing, phasing, risk assessment.
• Work closely with WLP’s development, technical, legal and finance teams to deliver executable projects.

Long-term partnerships

• Build trust-based, long-term relationships with customers, aligned with WLP’s owner mindset.
• Support repeat business, extensions and portfolio growth with existing clients.

YOUR PROFILE

Required

• 5–10+ years of experience in:
• logistics real estate (developer, leasing, brokerage), or
• business development within a 3PL / contract logistics environment.
• Proven track record in new business origination and deal closing.
• Strong understanding of logistics operations and site selection drivers.
• Fluent in German and English.
• Reside in Germany and will primarily work on the German market.
• Ability to travel to our Luxembourg office up to once per week

Preferred

• Existing network in the German logistics and brokerage market.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A hands-on, entrepreneurial platform with short decision lines.
• The opportunity to help build WLP’s German footprint from the ground up.
• A long-term owner environment focused on quality assets and sustainable growth.
• Competitive compensation package aligned with performance.
