Vacature omschrijving

You’ll be working at a large-scale returns center that handles all return flows for Albert Heijn. This central hub plays a crucial role in the supply chain by processing returned goods from stores efficiently, sustainably, and safely. The environment is fast-paced and constantly evolving, offering a unique challenge for logistics professionals with a hands-on mentality and a focus on quality and efficiency.

As a Logistics Foreman, you are responsible for achieving the set goals and effectively managing your team. If goals are not met, it’s not a problem—as long as you can explain why and provide insights into what caused the deviation. This allows the team to review situations together and identify ways to improve processes and optimize performance. Having relevant leadership experience is important, as it helps you accurately assess and handle these situations.

In your role, you spend about 80% of your time leading the team, but occasionally you will need to step in and assist with operational tasks. This sets a good example and helps prevent potential issues. When other departments experience higher workloads, you are aware of the situation and can reallocate team members as needed to support colleagues and ensure smooth operations.

Responsibilities of a Logistics Foreman:

• Independently oversee a shift, assigning tasks and providing clear work instructions, while ensuring smooth workflow and timely completion.
• Support the supervisor and step in during their absence to maintain team performance.
• Detect, troubleshoot, and prevent issues with machinery to avoid downtime.
• Manage the receipt, cleaning, sorting, storage, and dispatch of products efficiently.
• Maintain a safe working environment and monitor compliance with safety procedures.

• Minimum 12 to 18 months of leadership experience, preferably in a (production) logistics environment.
• Solid background in logistics or production.
• Good command of English (spoken and written); Dutch is a plus.
• Familiarity with 5S and lean methodologies is preferred.
• Understanding of safe working practices.
• MBO working and thinking level.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Technical affinity and experience working with machinery is a strong asset.

• Weekly salary payment.
• Salary indication:
  • Depending on experience, between €2,505 and €3,480.
• Shift work with allowances:
  • Current: 2 shifts (early-late), including weekends.
  • Future: 3 shifts (early-late-night), including weekends.
  • Candidates must be flexible and willing to adjust to evolving shift structures.
• Travel allowance.
• Opportunities for development and growth within the company.
• Opportunity for a permanent contract
