This job advert was originally written in Dutch.
Period: a temporary position of approximately five months due to maternity cover, with a view to a follow-up within Westfort if it works out well for both sides.
Salary: market-conform
Holiday allowance: 8%
Year-end bonus: 2%
Holiday days: 24 holiday days (based on full-time employment), with the possibility to purchase extra leave days
Pension: A good scheme according to the CAO Vleessector
Development opportunities: Budget and space for training and education to further develop yourself
Modern working environment: You work at one fixed location in a high-tech production environment with a pleasant informal atmosphere.
Do you love organizing, switching gears, and solving puzzles together? Then this is a role where no two days are the same. For a maternity cover of approximately five months, we are looking for a new colleague for our purchasing team. If it works out for both sides, we would love to look further at the possibilities within Westfort.
The supply of animals is a logistical puzzle every single day. You help ensure that everything runs at the right time, in the right place, and according to plan. Your responsibilities include:
planning and coordinating the daily supply;
contact with suppliers, pig farmers, and transporters;
supporting colleagues with questions and changes;
solving unexpected situations in the planning.
A transport that goes differently, a change from a supplier, or a question from production: you maintain the overview, pick up the phone, and search for the best solution together with others. It is precisely that variety that makes this work dynamic. You are in a lot of contact with people and work every day toward a result that is immediately visible.
Does it sound fun to solve that puzzle anew every day? To have a lot of contact with suppliers and transporters and to ensure together that everything is correct? Then we would love to meet you.
You don't need to know everything already. More important is that you get energy from organizing, communicating, and solving. Furthermore:
you have an MBO+ work and thinking level
you work accurately and maintain an overview, even when the planning changes
you are communicatively strong and easily pick up the phone
you think in solutions and dare to take initiative
you enjoy working together in a small, committed team
you have an affinity with planning, logistics, administration, or the agricultural sector
Available for 32-40 hours per week, on location
Westfort is a Dutch family business with over 1,600 colleagues. From our locations in IJsselstein, Oudewater, and Hedel, we process approximately 300,000 tons of pork annually and realize a turnover of approximately €700 million. We work exclusively with Dutch pigs and Dutch pig farmers. In doing so, we consciously choose long-term cooperation in chains, in which we work together on further improvement in the areas of animal welfare, animal health, and environmental impact.
Our main location in IJsselstein has grown since 2015 into one of the most modern meat processing locations in Europe, with an integrated freezing plant. In Oudewater, we manufacture and package consumer products for Dutch retail. In Hedel, we produce a wide assortment of meat products, with a strong specialization in organic. Europe is our home market, but Westfort products also find their way worldwide.
At Westfort, we therefore find it important that everyone is seen and heard. We attach great value to the new knowledge our colleagues bring, so that we can learn from each other. Our culture is no-nonsense, committed, and future-oriented. Here you are not a number, but a valuable link in an organization that truly invests in its people. You will join a team of eight colleagues who ensure every day that the supply for Westfort Vleesproducten runs smoothly. This means planning, calling, coordinating, adjusting, and above all: finding solutions before they become problems.
