Job description

Are you an experienced team lead who brings structure, makes clear decisions and keeps a warehouse running smoothly?

For our site in Son en Breugel, near Eindhoven, Nefab is looking for a warehouse team lead for 40 hours per week. You lead an international team of six warehouse employees. Together, you handle the inbound and outbound flow of goods, inventory management and the supply of our production department and cleanroom.

The role

As warehouse team lead, you are the point of contact for your team. You hold conversations about performance and sickness absence, and you guide and coach your team. You are also responsible for receiving and shipping goods correctly and on time, and for supplying production and the cleanroom, so they always have what they need. You set the course, set the right priorities and make clear arrangements. You report to the operations manager.

• You lead a team of six warehouse employees on a daily basis.
• You set priorities and allocate the work, so inbound, outbound and the supply of production and the cleanroom run smoothly.
• You are responsible for inventory management and make sure the stock in the ERP system is accurate.
• You make clear arrangements, introduce structure and standard working methods, and address colleagues when things don't go as agreed.
• You keep an eye on the wellbeing and availability of your team and hold conversations about performance and absenteeism.

Your profile

We are looking for a leader with natural authority who can truly lead people. You sense when an employee needs encouragement and when you need to address someone's behaviour. You are decisive and structured, and you communicate clearly: direct and to the point, but you also care about your people. You are not afraid to make decisions and you stay in control, even when it gets busy.

• You have several years of experience leading a small team in logistics.
• You have experience holding conversations about performance and absenteeism.
• You have experience with inventory management and knowledge of ERP systems.
• You have a good command of English, because your team is international.
• You are allowed to work in the Netherlands: you have a valid passport or ID card, or a valid work permit.

Our offer

Nefab is growing fast. In this role, you get the room to further professionalise the warehouse in Son. This is what you can expect from us:

• An attractive salary that you are happy with from day one. We discuss it in the first interview.
• A 13th-month salary payment, which you can also choose to receive in monthly instalments.
• 25 days of paid holiday, plus a day off after Ascension Day.
• A good pension scheme: Nefab pays two thirds of the pension contribution.
• You always start with a one-year contract.
• A travel allowance of €0.25 per kilometre.
• An international team of six colleagues with a good team spirit.
• A role in which you truly make a difference.

About Nefab

Nefab has been around since 1949 and has grown into a specialist in industrial packaging. With more than 6,000 employees in 38 countries, we help leading international companies ship their products safely and efficiently, in sectors such as telecom, datacom & cloud, semiconductors, energy, healthcare equipment and e-mobility. We design custom packaging in wood, plywood, cardboard, foam and plastic. This saves our customers an average of 20% on their costs and 31% on their CO2 emissions.

In Son, we do everything under one roof. Engineering designs packaging and tests it in our own lab, for example with drop tests. In production, plotters cut cardboard and foam to size and we assemble complete packaging solutions. In the cleanroom, we clean and inspect materials until they are spotless, and our warehouse makes sure everything is ready on time. From design to delivery.

We work from three core values: simplicity, respect and empowerment. We put the customer first and achieve results through good teamwork and clear communication. You get room to bring in ideas and keep developing yourself. We build teams with different backgrounds and experiences, because that makes us stronger. And doing business fairly is a given for us.
