Our client is a large logistics company in Weert that is easily accessible from Roermond, Nederweert, and Eindhoven, among other places. You’ll work in a small team of five forklift operators where colleagues are always there to support one another. The work atmosphere is informal, communication lines are short, and you’ll be given a lot of responsibility. It’s a stable employer where safety, teamwork, and quality are top priorities.

• Full-time position of 40 hours per week
• Travel allowance of €0.23 per kilometer for distances between 10 and 30 kilometers one way
• Pension plan through the Transportation Pension Fund with an employer contribution of 19.84%
• 8% vacation pay and a minimum of 24 vacation days
• 3.5 ADV days paid out in cash
• You will be compensated according to the client’s pay scale. This means that your salary, allowances, and employment conditions are the same as those of employees directly hired by the client.
