Description

As a logistics employee at Zalando's Mönchengladbach fulfilment centre, you make sure parcels reach customers across Europe as quickly as possible. Day to day you handle items from the assortment using mobile handheld scanners: registering new goods on arrival, storing articles carefully, packing customer orders and loading parcels into trucks. You are trained across the different logistics processes, so the work varies along the whole fulfilment chain and offers a path from specialist tasks toward a leadership role. The job runs in rotating shifts and involves several kilometres of walking or standing each day, working in a team that also contributes to daily operational targets and process improvements.

Requirements

  • Willingness to work shifts
  • Physical fitness: several kilometres of walking or standing are part of the daily work
  • Openness to being deployed across different areas and teams within logistics
  • Team player who enjoys working with people from many different backgrounds
  • Careful and conscientious work following supervisors' instructions, and willingness to ask for help when needed
  • Good spoken and written German to make communication in the team easier
