Your innovative ideas and advice will help our departments work more effectively and efficiently, and you will play a direct role in our success!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

As a Project Engineer, you will collaborate with fellow Engineers and other colleagues on a variety of projects with varying levels of complexity. These projects may include optimizing the current warehouse layout, analyzing and reporting data to enable data‑driven operations, supporting the making of business cases for strategic management decisions such as the use of automation, improving operational processes and possibly assisting with the implementation of new customers. Basic knowledge of budgeting, profit and loss, and financial statements will play a key role in supporting project planning and decision‑making.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The person we are looking for enjoys optimizing processes within a large logistics environment. You are skilled at accurately processing, analyzing, and monitoring data. Since you will have frequent contact with different colleagues, we are looking for someone with strong communication skills. You are stress‑resistant and have a mindset focused on continuous improvement.

You deliver effective solutions by analyzing data and expert insights, identifying key issues and proposing practical actions. You consistently develop practical procedures and ensure that tasks are completed through to a conclusion. You adopt a serious and questioning approach to assess situations and draw conclusions, based on a process view, facts and information gathered from others.

A one‑year contract with the prospect of permanent employment;
