Job description

Description of assignment

At Vanderlande, our service desk teams support automated logistics systems at airports, warehouses, and distribution centers worldwide. When issues arise, our engineers are the first point of contact for the customer and must act quickly. However, understanding technical problems is only part of the challenge engineers also need to grasp the operational impact on the customer, such as what system downtime means for a busy airport or distribution center. Transferring this crucial contextual knowledge is currently difficult within a 24/7 shift environment.

In this assignment, you will design a modern learning concept that helps service desk engineers understand customer context, speak the customer's language, and translate this into system impact for better decision‑making during urgent situations. You will combine learning science insights with real‑world practice cases to create a practical, scalable learning solution for our global service desk organization.
