Job description

New Thinking. The Right Solutions. Shared Success.

Welcome to3NRG GmbH based inthe Saxonian Burkau!

Since 2013, we’ve been driving change in an industry that stood still for far too long. Our focus: pallet-based delivery of natural products such as solid fuels, horticultural goods, and animal bedding – delivered exactly where they’re needed most. Fast. Reliable. Without detours.Because what looks like a well-organized supply chain to many is, in reality, often inefficient, expensive, and frustrating. That’s where we come in: as the only provider in the German-speaking market, we’re closing a real supply gap – with a distribution model that combines modern IT with smart logistics. We operate as a digital interface between producers, freight forwarders, and retailers – solving problems before they even become visible.

Our team? Made up of people who roll up their sleeves, take responsibility, and rethink processes. We’re making the availability of palletized goods more efficient, reliable, and future-ready – for the benefit of millions of end consumers.

With us, it’s all about purpose, responsibility – and strong collaboration.

Join our team and become part of our success!
