Become part of a growing organisation and start working as a ULD Operator at WFS.
What will you do?
Do you enjoy working with large equipment, do you like keeping an overview and making sure everything is in the right place? Then this warehouse position at Schiphol is something for you.
Within the warehouse, you work with Unit Load Devices (ULDs): aircraft pallets, containers and other air cargo equipment. You ensure that these materials are correctly received, checked, stored and issued on time to airlines and transport companies. You keep an overview of the inventory and make sure everything complies with applicable safety and quality regulations.
On a daily basis, you collect empty ULDs using a forklift, check them for damage and registration numbers, and store them in the designated locations. If you notice any irregularities or defects, you report them immediately. You also load and unload trucks, prepare ULDs for transport and make sure they are stacked and secured safely. In addition, you scan ULDs in the system, perform inventory checks, monitor stock levels and ensure that the administration is always accurate and up to date.
You work according to fixed instructions and procedures, but you also know when to stay alert and take action. If you have more experience, you support colleagues by giving instructions and sharing improvements. Safe and tidy working practices are always a priority.
