GNT Group — a family-run company and the leading maker of colouring foods under the EXBERRY® brand — is hiring a Logistics Coordinator (m/w/d) at its Heinsberg site in North Rhine-Westphalia. You will be a key link between day-to-day logistics, projects, and process improvement: helping with a new ERP system rollout, learning and supporting the production logistics, coordinating the forklift and wheel loader fleet, joining continuous improvement work, and standing in for the head of logistics when needed. It suits an experienced logistics professional with five or more years of experience, ideally in manufacturing, and a hands-on attitude.
About GNT — “Let’s Color the World!”
Approach: Gentle processing that keeps the natural variety of colours and delivers reliable, high-quality products
Company Type: Innovative, family-run business with a colourful character
Culture: Teamwork — GNT people support each other, customers, suppliers, and partners
What matters at GNT:
Passion Responsibility Customer Focus Sustainability Openness & Honesty
Heinsberg — Production Logistics Site
Region: Heinsberg lies in western North Rhine-Westphalia, close to the Dutch border
Operation: A production site where logistics keeps raw materials and finished products moving
Project: The site is introducing a new ERP system, and logistics has a strong voice in it
Equipment: Forklifts and wheel loaders that must be available whenever the operation needs them
Why This Logistics Coordinator Role at GNT Stands Out: This is not a narrow desk job. You work in operations, projects, and people coordination at the same time — and you have a real say in a new ERP rollout. With short decision paths, flat hierarchies, and a variety of responsibilities, it is a position where an experienced logistician can grow. Add benefits such as company bike leasing, a public transport subsidy, and CO₂ compensation for every employee, and you have a role with both purpose and perks.
Position Overview
As Logistics Coordinator at GNT in Heinsberg, you will connect operational logistics, projects, and process optimisation. You will take part in logistics-related projects — above all the introduction of a new ERP system — bringing in the needs of the logistics team. You will learn the production logistics thoroughly, support daily operations when needed, and help drive continuous improvement. You will also coordinate the forklift and wheel loader fleet so it is available when required. When the head of logistics is away, you take over the operational lead: staff and shift planning, technical guidance of the team, process control, the ERP key-user role, and keeping time-critical projects and decisions moving.
