Working in logistics in Eindhoven: roles, salary and opportunities

Eindhoven and its surroundings form a logistics hotspot. Which roles are available, what do you earn and how do you grow?

Why is Eindhoven a logistics hotspot?

The Eindhoven region lies centrally between the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp and the German market. Distribution centres, webshop warehouses and production companies in and around Eindhoven are looking year-round for warehouse workers, order pickers and forklift drivers.

Which roles are available?

Think of order picker, warehouse worker, packer, forklift driver and production worker. For many roles no diploma is required — motivation and reliability count most. Have a forklift certificate? Then you have an advantage.

What do you earn in logistics?

Hourly pay varies by assignment and depends on factors including your age, role, experience, the applicable collective labour agreement and working hours. Ask about the gross hourly rate, any shift allowances and the items that will appear on your payslip. Current statutory minimum wages are the lower limit; your specific pay agreement is stated in your assignment confirmation.

How do you grow further?

Those who show up reliably quickly grow into roles such as foreman, team leader or reach truck driver. We actively think along with you about your development and look together at which certificates increase your opportunities.
