Are you an ambitious and experienced team leader in Service & Maintenance, ready to take the next step? Do you want to be part of our new Fulfillment Centerin Dordrecht, and use your expertise to help build the maintenance-function within Picnic? We offer you the chance to build and lead the maintenance team in our Fulfillment Center in Doredrecht, and then grow to build these teams in other locations.

🥜 In a nutshell

As the leader of our internal maintenance team, you and your team of 3-4 engineers work to ensure our Material Handling Equipment works smoothly when we need it. You use your expertise and skills to plan preventive maintenance, resolve and analyse the root cause of incidents, and ensure our groceries are delivered on-time without any issues.

The fulfillment Center runs 7 days a week, 18 hours a day, and we’ll need to do maintenance outside these hours as well. To achieve that, your team will work in shifts to ensure round-the-clock coverage. You use your expertise to ensure your colleagues know exactly what to do even when you’re not there, to optimize the efficiency of the maintenance planning, and to ensure clear communication to the rest of the Picnic-team in the Fulfillment Center.

Dordrecht is the first site where we do the maintenance of our MHE ourselves, rather than fully outsourcing this to our MHE supplier. The first, but not the last. Now that we’re building smart automation at more and more of our sites to make work faster and less physically demanding, setting up an organization that does this efficiently is one of our emerging priorities.
