Logistics Employee – Reach Truck & Forklift (Freezer Warehouse)

As a Logistics Employee, you will be responsible for handling, moving and storing goods in a freezer warehouse. You will mainly operate reach trucks and forklifts, primarily Linde equipment, to load, unload and transport products within the warehouse.

You will also collect and prepare orders for shipment, inspect incoming and outgoing goods and complete basic administrative tasks. Not all activities involve operating a reach truck or forklift, so you must also be willing to use an electric pallet truck (EPT) and help with other warehouse duties.

You will work in freezer cells where temperatures are around –18°C. Although you will spend time working in the cold, there are regular opportunities to step outside the freezer area. Together with a small team of approximately four colleagues, you will make sure daily logistics operations run safely and efficiently.
