Job description

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Warehouse Team Leader to manage day-to-day warehouse operations while leading a small team of two employees. This is not a desk-based management position. You will work directly alongside the team, taking responsibility for stock accuracy, incoming and outgoing goods, internal logistics and the movement of high-value technical components between the warehouse and workshop. The role is particularly suited to someone with experience in a technical, industrial or spare-parts warehouse environment who combines natural leadership with a practical, hands-on approach.

• Lead and support a small warehouse team of two employees while remaining actively involved in daily operations.
• Manage incoming goods, order preparation and dispatches to customers.
• Coordinate internal logistics between the warehouse and technical workshop.
• Maintain accurate stock control across finished products, spare parts and high-value technical components.
• Ensure careful handling and traceability of valuable and technically complex inventory.
• Coordinate the movement of components to the workshop for assembly or modification and their return for final shipment.
• Manage logistics related to a separate short-term rental operation.
• Maintain efficient warehouse processes and identify opportunities for operational improvement.
• Work closely with other departments to ensure smooth material and product flows.

• Occasionally support deliveries or activities at customer sites.
  

Requirements

• Around 5 years of relevant experience in warehousing, logistics, stock management or a similar operational environment.
• Previous experience leading, coordinating or supervising warehouse employees.
• Strong preference for experience within a technical, industrial, machinery, spare-parts or similar warehouse environment.
• Comfortable working hands-on alongside the team rather than managing solely from an office.
• Strong stock-control skills and attention to detail, particularly when handling high-value inventory.
• Autonomous and confident, with strong problem-solving skills and natural authority.
• Collaborative approach and ability to work effectively across departments.
• Fluent/native Dutch and professional English.
• Valid Category B driving licence is required.
• C1 or small-truck driving licence is an advantage.
• Willingness to occasionally visit customer sites.
• Ability to provide a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) as part of the final recruitment process.
