What does an orderpicker do exactly?
Shoppers work to prepare the groceries for hundreds of customers every day. From coffee beans to ice cream, this fast-paced job can be physically demanding. It’s like being paid to go to the gym!
You will use a picking cart and a scanner to help you pick the groceries.You will work in different departments. For example, you will pick most of our products at room temperature in our “ambient” area.
The next day you will work in the “chilled” area, where we store our cooled products. Of course, you will get a warm jacket and gloves to wear. You’re responsible for collecting the cold products that customers order, like milk and yoghurt, and putting them into insulated crates. You will also ensure that the crates and containers are ready for shipment.
Our scanners help us make sure all orders run smoothly. Your team lead can also use them to coach you and support you in your professional development.
As part of our team, you’ll enjoy a catered lunch and dinner every day. We also have a great break room where you can relax. If you’re feeling competitive, you can challenge your colleagues to a game of pool or ping pong!
What are your tasks as an orderpicker?
- Packing the products in the warehouse
- Loading and unloading the trucks
- Ensuring the quality of the products
- Filling the shelves in the warehouse
What is your salary as a warehouse worker?
Initially, you earn 14,31 € per hour as a warehouse worker. Additionally, your hourly wage will automatically increase to €14.82 after one year of employment with us.
When you take on more responsibility and, for example, become part of the management team, this promotion is accompanied by a higher hourly wage.
In addition to your wage, you also get holiday pay, holiday days, and free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With us, you earn a little more than you would as a salesperson, waitress or temp in the restaurant trade.
What are the working hours?
You can always choose from one of these shifts:
- The early shift: From 06.00 to 14.30
- The late shift: From 14.30 to 23.00
We ask our warehouse workers to work a minimum of 24 hours per week. Therefore, it is not possible to have a Minijob as a warehouse worker.
