You keep the supply chain running

What happens when a car manufacturing plant runs out of the right reusable containers? A minor stock issue can quickly turn into a real supply problem.

This is exactly where you come in.

As a Logistics Dispatcher – Returnable Packaging, you’ll manage the operational supply of returnable containers for the automotive industry. Based at our Lisbon site, you’ll work within our customer-specific, SAP-based systems, monitoring stock levels, requirements and ongoing transport operations for four XDock sites.

Much of the dispatching is automated. Your strength therefore lies not in processing as many orders as possible manually, but in recognising when something isn’t going to plan, assessing the situation correctly and taking decisive action.

You are therefore a vital part of our client’s operational supply chain.

What to expect at SWJ

• A permanent position with SWJ at our Lisbon site.
• A role with significant responsibility in an international environment within the automotive industry.
• Working with modern, customised SAP-based logistics systems.
• A structured working environment with clearly defined processes and responsibilities.
• Support from an experienced supervisor or team leader when dealing with complex escalations and critical decisions.
• A structured induction into our client’s systems and processes.
