Location:

Oostende, West Flanders, BE.

After an intensive training period, you become the key operational point of contact for the spare parts logistics network and act as a hands‑on Supply Chain Spare Parts Logistics Officer. You ensure day‑to‑day alignment between our Strategic Distribution Centre (SDC) in Bornem (outsourced operations), the Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs) spread over Europe, and the VAN stock locations close to our customers.

You connect stakeholders, translate operational needs into clear actions and standards, and drive continuous improvements with a strong focus on service level, quality, cost and operational stability.

As a member of our team you are a logistical liaison on three levels: (1) the Strategic Distribution Centre (SDC) in Bornem, (2) the regional warehouses across Europe, and (3) the VAN stock network close to our customers. You will follow up outsourced SDC operations, challenge performance, steer improvement actions, and support tendering processes and IT projects.

• Support tendering and re‑tendering processes for SDC and RDC warehouses: collect requirements, support data preparation, contribute to evaluations and translate contract agreements into operational implementation.
• Represent spare parts logistics in corporate IT projects related to supply chain of spare parts (SPP): from requirements gathering and testing to go‑live support and hyper‑care.
• Frequent discussions on an international level with internal stakeholders, logistics partners and external suppliers to reach practical solutions and clear agreements.
• Translate insights from data, audits and operational follow‑up into concrete improvement actions and standards, track progress through KPI governance and reporting.

• Master’s degree (Industrial Engineering) and strong interest in end‑to‑end spare parts logistics.
• Hands‑on mentality with analytical mindset; ability to be close to operations and translate data into practical improvements.
• Strong stakeholder management skills across all levels (SDC, RDC, technicians, HQ) with clear communication.
• Experience in operational follow‑up of outsourced logistics or willingness to develop: performance monitoring, continuous improvement and structured problem solving.
• Affinity with stock accuracy and standardisation; capability to create clear work instructions, simple tools and KPI follow‑up for technicians.
• Comfortable supporting tender processes and translating requirements into measurable criteria and operational implementation.
• Proficient with MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and data/reporting tools; knowledge of SAP and/or Power BI is a plus.
• Good knowledge of English required; knowledge of other European languages a plus.

We offer extensive training, a competitive salary, and a comprehensive package of extralegal advantages.
