Forklift Driver

Purchase & Logistics

Full-time

Nieuw-Lekkerland

Are you someone who enjoys working safely and precisely? Do you like moving materials in a technical production environment — and are you looking for a role where your work has a direct impact on our projects? Then you’ll fit perfectly into our warehouse team.

What will you be doing?

As a Forklift Driver, you play an operational yet crucial role in our logistics chain. You move materials, support the warehouse manager and production teams, and ensure that everything runs smoothly and safely.

In practice, this means loading and unloading trucks, moving materials to the correct storage locations and production departments, and handling wide or heavy loads safely. You coordinate with warehouse management, working foremen, and drivers so everyone knows where materials are and when they will be delivered.

Your main responsibility is safely transporting materials with the forklift. The warehouse manager remains responsible for ordering, planning, and administrative processes, but there is always room to grow if that aligns with your ambitions.

Who are you?

You feel at home in a role where safety, accuracy, and practical teamwork are key. You work in a structured way, switch easily between tasks, and take responsibility for a smooth logistics process. You also bring:

A valid forklift certificate.
Demonstrable experience as a forklift driver in a production environment (experience in retail/distribution does not sufficiently match).
Experience with wide or unusual loads is a strong advantage.
Affinity with technical environments.
A precise, safe, and responsible work attitude.
Good communication skills to coordinate effectively with colleagues.
Good command of Dutch or English.

What do we offer you?

You will join a committed team within a growing organisation. You work in the heart of our production facility, with short communication lines and an informal atmosphere. There is room to develop yourself and contribute to a professional, efficient logistics environment.

We work according to the Metalektro Collective Labour Agreement and offer an excellent employment package, including:

A salary that matches your knowledge and experience, with room to grow.
40 days off per year: 27 vacation days + 13 ADV days (based on full time).
A solid pension scheme via PME.
Travel allowance of €0.23 per kilometre.
Collective health insurance with attractive conditions.
Lease a Bike scheme for permanent employees — sustainable and healthy.
Fresh fruit at the office every day.
Opportunities for training, courses and career development.
Work location: Nieuw Lekkerland.
