Warehouse Process Engineer bij Udea

Voor Udea in Veghel is RR-Recruitment op zoek naar een Warehouse Process Engineer. Krijg jij energie van het slimmer en consistenter maken van logistieke processen en het begeleiden van verbeterprojecten op de werkvloer? Sta je graag met je voeten in de klei, durf je op mensen af te stappen en weet je collega’s mee te krijgen in verandering? Dan is deze rol bij Udea mogelijk jouw volgende stap.

Udea is a wholesaler of organic foodstuffs, natural drugstore products, and sustainable non-food items. In addition, Udea owns the organic supermarket chain Ekoplaza and the Marqt formula. The organisation focuses on the Benelux region and supplies organic specialists and the foodservice sector.

The distribution centre in Veghel is mechanised for almost three-quarters of its volume. This concept has been live since the end of 2020 and is unique: wholesale orders for shops and webshop orders for consumers are picked in parallel. This is done in a combination of chilled fresh and ambient, from a single shuttle warehouse with multiple temperature zones. The logistical flows are managed by the Astro Warehouse Management System.

Udea is developing rapidly. Mechanisation is being further expanded and the organisation is growing strongly. This makes it a dynamic environment in which processes are continually made sharper and more robust.

You are hands-on involved in the processes while simultaneously keeping long-term goals in mind.

You also have:

A completed vocational college (HBO) or Bachelor's degree is required, preferably in Supply Chain Management or Operations Management.;
Experience of project-based work in a logistics environment;
Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma and other process optimisation techniques.;
Strong analytical skills and the ability to work with data.;
Good communication skills and an entrepreneurial, customer-focused attitude;
Excellent command of the Dutch language and a good command of English.

Experience within food or foodstuffs, for example with a retailer or a 3PL service provider with strong stakeholder management, is a great asset. Demonstrable experience with 5S within warehousing is a big plus.

What do you get from us?

Working at Udea means working within an organisation that is constantly moving forward, where mechanisation is being further developed and where you can have a direct impact on processes.
