1.Education

High School diploma, vocational training certificate, or equivalent.

2.Work Experience

Minimum of 1-3 years of physical warehousing experience, preferably in a fast-paced parts distribution center (e.g., automotive, construction machinery, or 3PL logistics).

Material Handling: Valid Forklift Operator License (e.g., counterbalance, reach truck) is strictly mandatory.

System Usage: Basic familiarity with using handheld RF scanners, barcode systems, and basic WMS interfaces.

Physical Fitness: Ability to perform physical labor, including lifting heavy components (within legal ergonomic limits), standing, and moving quickly for extended periods.

Efficiency Mindset: Highly organized with a proven ability to work efficiently and hit numeric productivity targets (lines/hour).

Mandatory: Native or fluent proficiency in the local language of the warehouse location (e.g., German for the Tier 1 Hub).

Strong safety awareness and team-player attitude.
