Reach truck driver

In Geldermalsen, Smeding operates in a new, ultramodern distribution center (DC). Do you enjoy working with fruit and vegetables? And are you available to work two shifts? Then we are looking for you at our new location in Geldermalsen and you can make a difference here as:

Reach truck driver (Full-time)

What you will do:

As a reach truck driver, you will be responsible for internal product movement. You ensure that goods are stored in the correct location and are ready on time for collection and shipping. You pick up pallets, scan them, and take them to the right spot. You also register goods in the system and report any shortages.

Your tasks:

• Loading and unloading containers.
• Placing pallets with goods in the correct location in the warehouse
• Processing goods and shortages in the system

This is the perfect job for you if:

As a reach truck driver, it’s important that you are skilled and experienced with the reach truck. Need to stack a pallet of mandarins four levels high? No problem for you! In addition, you are flexible—besides working on the reach truck, you help out in other departments when needed, such as inbound, outbound, or order picking. You’ll be working with fresh produce, so you’ll work in a cold environment. Of course, you’ll receive protective clothing so you won’t feel that it’s 4 degrees inside!

You also recognize yourself in the following:

• You are an experienced reach truck driver 
• You are available 5 days a week in two shifts (06:00 - 14:36 and 14:24 - 23:00)
• You have a valid reach truck certificate or are willing to get one

Working days are Monday through Saturday, with one fixed day off per week

! A Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.

We offer you:

• Work in a modern distribution center with a great diversity of colleagues
• Development opportunities; want to grow into a foreman? At Smeding, growth and development are possible!
• Salary of €15.56 - €17.86 per hour based on experience + a shift bonus
• A one-year for 38 hours per week
• 26 vacation days for full-time employment
• Travel allowance (if commuting distance >10 km)
• Free fruit during working hours and an inexpensive canteen
