Logistics Engineer (24-40 uur)

As a Logistics Engineer, you will be part of the Site Manager’s team and report directly to the Site Manager. In this role, you will actively contribute to the continuous improvement of the operational performance of our Venlo site. You act as the link between data, processes, and day-to-day operations. By conducting analyses, identifying bottlenecks, and initiating improvements, you help the organization work smarter, more efficiently, and more effectively.

You will investigate operational issues, identify the root causes of deviations, and translate your findings into practical improvement initiatives. In addition, you will support the Site Manager by providing analyses, reports, business cases, and cost evaluations that contribute to informed decision-making. Whether it concerns warehousing, transport planning, cross-docking, customs, or key account operations, you know how to turn data into insights and insights into results.

This role offers a high level of responsibility and autonomy. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across various departments. No two days are the same: one day you may be analyzing operational performance and KPIs, while the next you are leading an improvement project or solving a recurring process issue.

What are you going to do?

• Analyze operational processes, performance, and data to identify bottlenecks, deviations, and opportunities for improvement.
• Conduct root cause analyses and translate findings into practical and sustainable improvement solutions.
