An industrial client in Wedel, Schleswig-Holstein, working through a recruitment partner, is looking for a Logistics Process Specialist (m/f/d) for a temporary, full-time assignment. This role sits at the heart of a production site’s material flow and suits someone who enjoys designing logistics systems, carrying them through into software, and seeing a relocation project to completion. As Logistics Process Specialist, you’ll design a structured, targeted, and timely supply and disposal system for production, starting from the logistics site, and then implement it; take account of storage and transport needs between storage sites and production halls, including hazardous material storage, shuttle packaging, and ESD protection; transfer the physical solution into existing software such as SAP, sometimes with external service providers; document the results, including process descriptions, and train employees; develop a relocation plan in step with overall project management; integrate your work into the wider project; prepare specifications for external tenders, such as for installations; and coordinate with the internal teams that depend on the process.
About the Assignment — Intralogistics in Industrial Production
Location: Wedel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Focus: Production supply, disposal, and storage between halls and sites
Project Type: Relocation and logistics restructuring within a wider project
Systems: SAP for warehouse, materials, inventory, and production planning
Work Model: Temporary, full-time assignment
Logistics Process Specialist Role — Concept, Systems & Implementation
Department: Logistics / Intralogistics Project
Primary Focus: Supply and disposal design, SAP implementation, relocation planning
Scope: Production halls, storage sites, and transport between them
Mission: Delivering a robust, well-documented logistics process that runs from day one
Logistics Process Specialist Position Overview
The Logistics Process Specialist role is about designing how materials move through an industrial site and then making that design work in practice. The starting point is the logistics site itself, where you’ll conceive a supply and disposal system for production that is structured, targeted, and timed to the needs of each line. A good concept has to respect the physical realities of the site, so you’ll consider how materials are stored and transported between storage sites and between production halls, paying attention to requirements such as hazardous material storage, shuttle packaging, and ESD protection. Once the concept is clear, it has to become a working system. You’ll transfer the physical solution into existing software, particularly SAP, sometimes working alongside external service providers to get the configuration right. Documentation keeps the process reliable over time, so you’ll record the results, write clear process descriptions, and train the employees who will run the new arrangement. Projects of this kind also involve moving things, and you’ll develop the relocation plan in close coordination with overall project management, so that the change happens in an orderly way without disrupting production. Specifications are often needed for external tenders, for example for new installations, and you’ll prepare them with the technical detail they require. Throughout, you’ll coordinate with the internal functions whose work depends on the logistics process, bringing the project together and integrating your part into the wider whole.
As Logistics Process Specialist, you’ll build expertise in intralogistics design, SAP warehouse and materials processes, and the practical management of a relocation or restructuring project. The ideal candidate has completed studies in logistics with a focus on intralogistics, or holds a technical or logistics training qualification with relevant further education. Experience in managing projects of a meaningful size is required, along with several years of logistics experience and a sound understanding of logistics processes in an industrial company. Extensive SAP knowledge across warehouse management, materials management, inventory management, and production planning is important, and experienced use of PowerPoint and Excel is expected. Strong analytical skills, an understanding of cross-functional processes, and good coordination and implementation skills will help you succeed. Excellent German and English, spoken and written, is required, and knowledge of MTM (methods-time measurement) is desirable. For experienced logisticians in Schleswig-Holstein who enjoy designing processes and seeing them through to operation, this temporary assignment offers focused and practical project work.
Why This Role Matters: As Logistics Process Specialist in Wedel, you design the way materials move through an industrial site, put that design into SAP and documentation people can use, plan a relocation that keeps production running, prepare specifications for external tenders, train the teams who will work the new process, and build project experience in intralogistics across Germany.
