• Managing the implementation and use of supporting systems, such as a Warehouse Management System (WMS) and barcode scanners.

• Developing and optimising item management, inventory and distribution models.

• Analysing logistics performance and processes, driving improvements in efficiency, reliability and cost control.

What do we offer?

• A gross monthly salary between €5,000 and €6,500 (based on full-time employment).

• A responsible and varied management position.

• The opportunity to work on high-quality projects in the yacht building and offshore industries.

• Plenty of room for your own initiative and the opportunity to make a real impact.

• Opportunities for personal and professional development.

• A company phone and laptop.
