HOW DO YOU BUILD A CAREER IN LOGISTICS WHEN EVERY DAY MOVES DIFFERENTLY?

Working at a European logistics organisation where people, planning, craftsmanship and execution come together.
Working at Jan de Rijk Logistics means working in transport, warehousing, planning, operations, engineering and support within an international logistics organisation.
PEOPLE KEEP LOGISTICS MOVING

THE PEOPLE BEHIND EVERY MOVEMENT.

Logistics is all about movement. But behind every trip, planning, shipment and delivery are people who make it work. On the road, in the warehouse, in planning, in customer service, IT, finance, HR and sales. Together we make sure customers can rely on what we agree.

At Jan de Rijk Logistics you work in an environment where a hands-on approach, teamwork and taking responsibility come back every day.

BUILT ON OWNERSHIP

SCOPE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

No day in logistics goes exactly as planned. That's precisely why you need people who think along, adapt quickly and do what's needed. At Jan de Rijk, you're given the scope to take responsibility. You work close to the operation, with colleagues who know what's going on and who help each other when necessary.

We like clear agreements, short lines of communication and people who want to move forward.

Growth does not follow one route.

YOUR ROUTE FORWARD

GROWING IN A WAY THAT SUITS YOU.

There's no one fixed route within Jan de Rijk Logistics. The direction depends on who you are, what you can do and where you want to grow. Whether you start as a driver, planner, warehouse employee, mechanic, customer service employee, IT specialist or in another role: you get the chance to learn, build experience and develop your talent further.

You don't have to be able to do everything yet. But you do have to want to move.

MANY ROLES. ONE OPERATION

TOGETHER WE MAKE THE OPERATION STRONG.

Jan de Rijk Logistics is broad. You can see that in our people.

On the road, drivers keep European flows moving. In warehouses, teams take care of storage, order processing, value added services and dispatch. Planners keep an overview when the pressure rises. Mechanics make sure equipment stays reliable. Support teams make the operation stronger every day.

Every role counts. Because logistics only works when all the links work together.

ON THE ROAD

FOR DRIVERS WHO LOOK BEYOND THE TRIP.

As a driver, you're an important face of Jan de Rijk Logistics. You bring more than cargo from A to B. You bring reliability, service and calm to the chain. You work with modern equipment, clear planning and colleagues who understand what matters on the road. Variety, independence and responsibility are part of the job.

You literally keep the operation moving.

Logistics moves because people do.

ON THE FLOOR

WHERE PLANNING AND EXECUTION COME TOGETHER.

In our warehouses and operations teams, a lot happens at once. Goods come in, orders are processed, flows are prepared and exceptions are resolved. That calls for an overview, accuracy and collaboration. You work in an environment where pace and quality have to go hand in hand.

Here you see directly what your work means for customers, colleagues and the rest of the chain.
