The role

Welcome to JYSK! 

JYSK is a fast-growing retail chain with more than 3,000 stores in 50 countries. To support this growth logistically, the 10th distribution center is being built in Lelystad. Construction is in full swing and the distribution center is expected to be operational in early 2027.

But of course, that doesn't mean we are sitting idle until then! Currently, we are working hard from our temporary distribution center to realize a smooth transition to the new location.

What you'll do

As a Senior Technical Service Technician, you have an important technical role within our distribution center. You are responsible for the optimal functioning, maintenance, and improvement of our automated warehouse installations, including the High Bay system.

With at least five years of experience in automated systems, you are able to independently analyze and resolve complex malfunctions. You look beyond the immediate fault and actively think along regarding structural improvements, reliability, and efficiency.

Additionally, you play an important role in transferring knowledge to colleagues. You mentor and train other technicians, share your practical experience, and contribute to the further development of the technical team.

You work closely with the Technical Service, other departments within the distribution center, and colleagues from other JYSK distribution centers. Depending on operational needs, you will work in day shifts or in a two-shift rotation. Working hours are determined in consultation.

Your responsibilities as Senior Technical Service Technician: 

  • Performing and coordinating preventive and corrective maintenance on automated warehouse installations.
  • Independently analyzing and resolving complex malfunctions in automation systems and electromechanical installations.
  • Performing activities related to the implementation, commissioning, management, and maintenance of the automated High Bay system.
  • Working with and maintaining crane installations within automated warehouse systems.
  • Monitoring the availability, reliability, and continuity of the technical installations.
  • Training, mentoring, and supporting fellow technicians with technical tasks, fault analyses, and maintenance procedures.
  • Acting as a technical point of contact for colleagues and contributing to knowledge development within the team.
  • Analyzing recurring malfunctions and initiating structural improvements.
  • Identifying and implementing improvements in the areas of safety, efficiency, and cost control.
  • Thinking along about new technical solutions and the optimization of maintenance processes.
  • Actively contributing to a safe working environment and working according to the applicable Health & Safety and fire safety procedures.
