About the position
In this role as an logistics forklift operator, you will play a key part in the daily logistics operation within Geodis. This is not a role where you sit on the forklift all day. Instead, you will combine forklift tasks with general warehouse activities such as picking, packing, scanning and order handling. You will work in a structured, safety‑focused environment where teamwork, accuracy and reliability are essential. If you enjoy variety, responsibility and an active workday, this position is a great fit.
What will you do:
- Operate a forklift safely and efficiently to move, store and transport goods.
- Perform picking and packing tasks to support the order process.
- Handle general warehouse duties such as scanning, sorting and stock replenishment.
- Carry out physical tasks including lifting, walking and organizing materials.
- Follow safety standards and maintain a clean and organized workspace.
- Work closely with colleagues to support a smooth and efficient workflow.
You will work varying daytime shifts, and therefore must be available between 07:00 and 18:00.
Shift patterns may change depending on operational needs.
What we offer
At Geodis, your experience and dedication are rewarded with strong employment conditions and long-term opportunities. You can expect the following:
- Competitive hourly salary between €14.98 and €16.20.
- Temporary contract with the prospect of a permanent position.
- Stable full-time employment of 32–40 hours per week.
- Travel allowance up to €11.50 per day starting from 10 km.
- Access to more than 500 training programs to support your personal and professional development.
- Clear opportunities for growth for motivated and high-performing employees.
At Start People, we follow the principle of equal pay: your employment conditions always match those of colleagues who are directly employed by the client. This means that, in addition to your hourly wage, your terms of employment also include the same number of vacation days, allowances, ADV compensation, and other pay components.

We are looking for a motivated and reliable logistics professional who brings experience and a proactive attitude:
- Valid forklift certificate (required).
- Proven experience in forklift operation and general warehouse logistics.
- Willingness to perform a combination of forklift work and pick/pack tasks.
- Ability to provide a VOG (Certificate of Conduct).
