Netherlands Warehouse & Logistics CV required

Packing & Labeling Associate in the Netherlands

This role sits at the end of the warehouse workflow: items are checked, packed, labeled, scanned, and prepared for dispatch. Projects vary by site — from e-commerce distribution centers to light production/packing lines. If you can follow instructions, keep quality consistent, and work safely at speed, you will do well here.

CV is mandatory: candidates without a CV are not considered.

Teams usually hire for this role when outbound volume spikes: promotions, seasonal peaks, or a new client launch. Your work keeps shipments accurate and traceable.

What you will do (day-to-day)

  • Pack items according to pick lists or packing instructions (right box size, protection materials, sealing).
  • Print and apply shipping labels; verify label-data matches the order and destination.
  • Scan barcodes (item, carton, pallet) to maintain traceability in the warehouse system.
  • Perform quick visual quality checks: damage, missing parts, expiry/date codes where relevant.
  • Prepare parcels for handover: sort by route/carrier, stack safely, wrap or strap when required.
  • Keep the workstation clean and organized (5S-style housekeeping) to reduce errors and injuries.

On some projects you may rotate between stations (packing bench, labeling, outbound lanes). Training is usually on-site and practical.

Requirements

Must-have

  • Reliable attendance and ability to follow written and verbal instructions.
  • Basic English for safety rules, labels, and reporting issues (site level varies).
  • Comfort working in a paced environment with repetitive tasks.
  • CV in English is required for review and selection.

Nice-to-have

  • Warehouse experience (packing, outbound, scanning) or light production/packing line experience.
  • EPT / pallet truck familiarity, basic RF scanner confidence.
  • Food/logistics background where hygiene or traceability matters.

Physical demands (typical)

  • Standing/walking most of the shift; repetitive hand movements.
  • Manual handling: frequently light items; occasional boxes (often up to ~10–15 kg depending on site policy).
  • Ability to work safely around moving equipment (carts, pallet traffic) and follow PPE rules.

Pay, overtime & allowances (gross)

Indicative gross hourly range for this role: €14.71–€17.50/hour (commonly for 21+). Final pay depends on project location (province/city), the applicable collective agreement, experience, and shift patterns.

  • Shift allowances: evening/night/weekend uplifts may apply if the site runs multi-shift operations.
  • Overtime: offered during peak volumes; paid according to the applicable rules for the assignment.
  • Travel and accommodation: some projects support these; terms depend on assignment and are confirmed after screening.
  • Deductions: statutory taxes and agreed items (e.g., accommodation or insurance where applicable) may be deducted per contract terms.

You will receive the exact offer details (gross pay, shifts, allowances, deductions) only after your CV screening and project matching.

Documents & legal work (non-EU candidates)

Non-EU candidates can apply. Work authorization depends on the hiring model (employer-specific permission vs. other lawful options) and your profile. Requirements are confirmed during screening — do not assume automatic eligibility.

  • Identity: valid passport/ID.
  • CV: English CV preferred; add warehouse/production experience and any certificates.
  • Role fit checks: some sites require background checks or safety inductions (project dependent).
  • Work authorization: arranged/confirmed by the employer per assignment rules; timelines vary.
  • Communication: basic English is commonly expected for safety and operational instructions.

FAQ

Is this role the same as an Order Picker?

They can overlap. Packing & Labeling is typically more focused on outbound preparation (boxing, labeling, scanning, QC). Some sites combine picking + packing; the final workflow depends on the project.

What pay can I expect in the Netherlands (gross)?

Gross hourly pay usually starts at the statutory minimum for the age group and then varies with the applicable agreement, experience, shift system, and the site’s complexity. This page shows an indicative gross range; exact terms are confirmed after screening.

Do I need experience to be considered?

Experience is helpful, but not always required. Sites often provide a short on-the-job introduction. What matters most is accuracy, safety, and reliability. Your CV should clearly show any similar work.

Do I need English?

Basic English is commonly required for safety instructions, labels, and reporting issues. Some locations are more flexible, but you should be able to follow rules and communicate basic problems.

What equipment will I use?

Common tools include barcode/RF scanners, label printers, weighing scales, packing materials and dispensers, and (sometimes) manual pallet trucks. PPE typically includes safety shoes and gloves as required by the site.

Are shifts, overtime, and accommodation guaranteed?

No. These depend on the project and seasonality. Some sites run day shifts only; others operate 2–3 shifts. Overtime is typically offered during peak volumes. Accommodation support can exist on some assignments, but terms are confirmed after matching.
