Are you an experienced leader who enjoys maintaining oversight in a dynamic, high-tech logistics environment?

How do you do this? Within our high-tech data centre operation, the Kitting department is responsible for picking, checking and assembling materials and electronic components into complete kits.

• monitoring and improving operational KPIs, including productivity, quality, delivery reliability, safety and 5S standards;
• identifying and resolving bottlenecks in capacity, planning and material flows, while proactively collaborating with other departments and stakeholders;
• initiating and implementing process improvements while maintaining a safe, structured and efficient working environment.

Your team stands out within DSV because of its combination of technical precision, logistics expertise and strong collaboration. Within Kitting, everything revolves around carefully preparing materials and components that are essential for building data centres. As Senior Team Leader, you provide structure, encourage engagement and drive continuous improvement, ensuring your team consistently delivers high-quality results.
