Why This Logistics Supervisor Role at Innomotics Stands Out
Broad Logistics Scope: From inventory and stocktaking to damage management and customs support, the role gives you a wide view of site logistics instead of one narrow task
SAP Contact Person Role: You become the go-to person for SAP MM and WM processes — helping users, troubleshooting, and working with IT — without having to do independent customizing
Strong Benefits List: Innomotics lists 30 days of vacation, flexible working time models, an attractive retirement plan, health services, a childcare allowance, and an employer contribution to the Germany ticket
Career Growth: Logistics supervisors can progress toward Logistics Team Lead, Site Logistics Manager, Supply Chain Manager, and SAP Key User or process owner roles
Position Overview
The Logistics Supervisor oversees the operational warehouse processes at the Nuremberg site — inventory management, stocktaking, handling of missing parts, and scrapping. You will clarify logistics issues with internal contacts and external service providers and make sure agreed solutions are carried out reliably in day-to-day business. You will support users in warehouse management and be the contact person for SAP MM and WM processes, including technical support, troubleshooting, and coordination with the responsible IT departments. You will coordinate damage management on site for internal and external partners, take on special tasks, support cross-departmental projects for the further development of site logistics, look for improvements in existing processes, and, where required, support outbound logistics and import customs clearance.
Why This Role Matters: In a manufacturing plant, the right part has to be in the right place at the right time — and the stock records have to match what is on the shelf. As Logistics Supervisor, you keep warehouse processes tidy and reliable, make sure SAP data reflects reality, handle damaged or missing goods calmly, and smooth the cooperation between internal teams and logistics partners. Your work keeps production supplied and customers’ orders moving, and it quietly prevents the expensive surprises that poor stock control can cause.
