Maintenance Engineer - Heerlen

Technology is your passion. How nice is it then to be allowed to work on a new system and in the meantime build a trusted relationship with our customer?

This is a great opportunity to work in the newest automated distribution centre in the Netherlands for our client which is a sports fashion, multichannel retailer of branded sports and casual wear, combining globally recognised brands. This client now has over 4,500 stores across 36 countries worldwide.

The client has teamed up with a global leader in 3PL contract logistics to build a new 60,000-square-meter distribution center in Heerlen. This facility, set to be fully operational by mid to late 2025, will act as a central logistics hub. Situated on De Beitel industrial estate in Heerlen, the new distribution center will replace former industrial buildings.

This facility will be dedicated to fulfilling omnichannel sales and is designed to manage all EU volumes efficiently within one automated site.

The automation system, provided by TGW, will feature 675 Stingray shuttles, 34 shuttle storage aisles, 284,333 storage locations, and a capacity to store 4.8 million units. Additionally, another leading provider of logistics solutions will install their Skyfall pouch system, which includes 90,000 pouches, GTP workstations, and sorters, carton machines, compressors, and print & apply systems from other third-party OEMs.
