YOUR ROLE 
As a Workforce Planner, your primary responsibility is to ensure that the right number of flexible workers with the required skills are available on time to support our logistical operations. You'll collaborate with colleagues to create and optimize employee schedules, working closely with operational departments and our flexible staffing partners. 

 

What does this role mean? The employee schedule is based on forecasts provided by our partners.

Working hours are primarily between 06:30 and 19:00, every day of the week, including weekends. Of course, you won't be working these hours consecutively. As a team, you'll create a quarterly schedule where you can indicate your preferences, which will be accommodated as much as possible.
