Picnic is one of the fastest-growing company in the Netherlands. Each day we make thousands of customers happy with an easy-to-use app and free home delivery. We deliver orders throughout the Netherlands, Germany and France.
Picnic has a fully integrated just-in-time supply chain process. Orders are picked by our shoppers in one of our seven Dutch Fulfilment Centers (FCs) and are then shipped to our Dutch Hubs. From the Hubs, the groceries are delivered to our customers with our iconic electric Picnic vehicles.
As our operations continue to grow, we need to ensure that the processes within our FCs and Hubs run smoothly. Additionally, we have to develop new locations and equipment to take our service to the next level. We are looking for a Project Engineer who loves to take ownership of our challenging and innovative equipment projects.
Where you fit in
As our Project Engineer, you’re part of the team that’s responsible for Picnic’s physical world. The Building & Equipment team organizes the building of new FCs and Hubs and makes sure all the right equipment is there. You will work with our Facility Managers, Project Engineers, the Building & Equipment team lead and many other internal and external stakeholders. You will travel frequently between different Picnic locations in the Netherlands.
With your experience and forward-thinking ideas, you will play a lead role in (re)building and launching highly optimized FCs. Next to this, you will be working on optimization and maintenance projects for the manual FCs and Hubs. The result of your work will help us to improve our operations and ensure that all of our customers continuously experience our top of the bill Picnic service. Your efforts will help all of our (3000+) employees to work safely and comfortably. You can really make an impact!
