Job description

As a Forklift Operator, you play an important role in keeping the warehouse and production department running smoothly. Without the right materials arriving on time, the production line cannot continue. Your job is to make sure materials are delivered when needed and goods are moved safely and efficiently. You will have an active and varied working day. One moment, you might be unloading a trailer. The next, you will be driving a forklift to transport materials to the correct location. At the same time, you will keep an eye on what the production line needs to keep everything moving.
Your main responsibilities include:

• Loading and unloading trailers;
• Operating a forklift, reach truck and electric pallet truck (EPT);
• Supplying materials to the production line;
• Moving and handling goods safely and efficiently;
• Using scanners and logistics systems.

You will work in an environment where the pace can change throughout the day. Being flexible and able to adjust when priorities change is therefore important. You will join an active logistics environment where you can develop your skills and explore opportunities for career growth.
You can expect:

• A starting salary based on the applicable minimum wage;
• The opportunity to increase your salary to approximately €16 gross per hour, depending on your performance;
• Early and late shifts;
• Opportunities to develop and progress into other operational roles;
• A diverse team with colleagues of different ages and backgrounds.

Occasionally, you may need to work longer hours or switch between early and late shifts. Flexibility is an important part of this position.
