Are you looking for a new challenge and want to actively shape the future of our Supply Chain and Logistics activities? The Logistics Central Services team is looking for an enthusiastic and solution-oriented team member who approaches challenges with a positive, can-do mindset.

You will bridge the gap between traditional surface management and next-generation warehouse hardware, playing a key role in scaling our exciting physical automation initiatives. By seamlessly integrating advanced technologies, such as high-density cube storage or AS/RS into our footprint, you will directly support our production ramp-up, quality, and cost goals.

If you are highly self-motivated, naturally curious, and possess a deep customer focus, you are exactly right here!

Your tasks and responsibilities:

• Act as the technical focal point for warehouse technology, advanced storage solutions, and physical automation initiatives within the Surface Management team.
• Analyze and understand warehouse capabilities and capacity constraints to ensure technology solutions fit our physical and operational needs.
• Enable the rate ramp-up by developing our surface potentials through the integration of cutting-edge warehouse technologies, technological densification, and the reshaping of storage areas.
• Lead the physical layout planning, spatial integration, and material flow design for both conventional storage and automated systems in new and existing warehouses.
• Deliver critical technical expertise during the Call for Tender phase: analyze supplier proposals, assess physical space and process feasibility, and identify the best overall business case.
• Drive the concrete design and physical installation phases of technology projects, coordinating closely with overarching Project teams, System Integration Experts, Facility Management and Operational Logistics.
• Manage and monitor CapEx and OpEx needs and phasing specifically related to warehouse technology hardware and physical infrastructure.
• Drive the business and physical transformation associated with implementing large-scale logistics technologies across the End-to-End Supply Chain.

Desired skills and qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
• Proven market and solution knowledge of modern warehouse technologies, intelligent storage systems, and physical automation (e.g., high-density cube storage / AutoStore systems, goods-to-person AS/RS, and automated conveyor networks).
• Experience in layout planning, surface optimization, and the physical integration of technical equipment into complex warehouse environments.
• Experience in project management frameworks would be a plus.
• Strong analytical and conceptual skills with the ability to assess technical and physical process feasibility.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to structure complex contexts and present them persuasively to various management levels.
• Business fluent in English and German.
• Strong stakeholder management skills: the ability to align, inspire, and drive transformation across complex organizational structures.

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
