The main tasks in the Warehouse and Logistics department

What do warehouse helpers and order pickers do?

One of the main activities in a warehouse is to assemble goods and products according to customer orders and then pack, load or dispatch the packages of goods. Warehouse employees and (goods) pickers are responsible for this. Depending on the industry, the packages may vary in size and shape. In most cases, the packed goods are booked into a system by the warehouse staff (e.g. using a scanner). The warehouse staff's tasks often also include quality control of the goods. In addition, there are sorting and repacking activities, transportation tasks or supplying production and stocking the warehouse.

What are the tasks of crane and forklift drivers in logistics?

Various industrial trucks such as forklift trucks and reach trucks are used in warehouses and production facilities to load goods and products. Cranes are also used to load heavy and bulky goods or large packages of goods. Forklift drivers and crane operators are responsible for operating industrial trucks and cranes. Their main task is to load goods. However, they are also used for order picking, processing delivery bills and, above all, for internal plant transportation. Forklift truck drivers transport goods from incoming goods to the warehouse or from the warehouse to production. They use reach trucks to stock high-bay warehouses, among other things.

A valid forklift or crane license is required to work as a forklift driver or crane operator. Companies often also offer to complete the relevant certificates on site with the support of the new employer.

What does a warehouse logistics specialist do?

A warehouse logistics specialist works in the incoming goods department. Here, incoming goods are checked against defined specifications and criteria. As a rule, warehouse logistics specialists check delivery bills and process complaints. They are also involved in conceptual work. This means that they implement and optimize the processes in incoming goods and thus contribute to a smooth and cost-efficient process.

Training is usually required to work as a warehouse logistics specialist. This takes place on a dual basis and includes a theoretical part at vocational school and a practical part in the company.
