• What is Picnic?

  Picnic is an app-only supermarket with operations in the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Our customers order their groceries via the app and we deliver them to their homes for free. The Picnic team works behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. We hope to welcome you to that team soon! Our drivers bring the groceries from our Fulfilment Centres to the hubs, and from there, our Runners drive them to the customers in our electric Picnic vehicles (ePvs).

• What are you going to do?

  • You will drive groceries from the Fulfilment Centre to the different hubs in the country. You will supply 2 to 4 hubs every working day. From there, Picnic ‘Runners’ deliver the groceries to customers in our iconic electric vehicles.
  • Heavy freight, but light work: how do we do that? You will receive help from a Picnic employee when loading the cargo. You will also receive technical assistance, namely from an electric container tractor (Movexx). And we will continue to innovate and come up with new ways to make your work easier.
  • Never make a packed lunch again! You get free lunch and dinner at the Picnic Fulfilment Centre. And you can regularly drink a cup of coffee with your Euser or St vd Brink colleagues. This fills up the waiting time between rides and is a great way to get to know your colleagues better!
