Warehouse Associate / Production Planner
House of Chi is Amsterdam’s only craft non-alcoholic beverage producer. At our facility in Amsterdam-Noord, we run weekly production cycles for our own brands as well as for premium private labels. This position is opening up because the colleague currently responsible for production preparation and warehouse management is moving on. We make non-alcoholic drinks using natural ingredients only. Very few producers anywhere manage that. No powders, no artificial flavourings, just real fruit juice with a shelf life and a batch code that add up. Everything comes out of our own factory in Amsterdam-Noord: our brands Roots, NO.ORD and De Frisdrank Fabriek, plus production runs for premium private label brands. The operators on the line are waiting on your prep.

What will you be doing
- You prepare the raw materials and supplies for the day's production and deliver them to the line.
- You set up production batches and support the operators during the run.
- You retrieve frozen raw materials from the freezer on time to ensure the thawing duration is correct and the line does not come to a standstill.
- You monitor FIFO for the fruit juices: the oldest batch codes are used first.
- You record and check the temperatures of the cold storage rooms and freezers daily.
- You load and unload trucks and log incoming shipments into our ERP system.
- You transport finished products to the warehouse, stack the IBCs, remove empty pallets, and keep the warehouse and outdoor area clean.
- You perform basic inventory checks and report shortages, such as pallets, before production is held up by them.
Who are you?
- You have a practical vocational qualification (MBO), preferably in logistics, technology, or food production.
- You work 40 hours a week, 5 days on-site in Amsterdam-Noord, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with a half-hour break.
- You can lift up to 20 kilos and will be standing and walking for most of the day. This is not a desk job.
- You hold a valid forklift certificate.
- You are comfortable using English in the workplace. Dutch is not strictly required.
- You have basic knowledge of an ERP system and do not view administration as an afterthought, because a shipment that hasn't been logged doesn't exist.
- Experience in a warehouse or production environment is a plus.
- Knowledge of food hygiene regulations is a plus.
- You work accurately and independently, and you speak up if something isn't right instead of passing the buck.
What we offer
- 2,700 to 3,200 euros gross per month for 40 hours, depending on experience and certifications.
- A temporary contract with the prospect of a permanent position.
- 25 days of annual leave for 40 hours and 8% holiday pay.
- A vegetarian lunch provided at the factory every day.
- The freedom to organize the warehouse in a way that you think works better. You will report to the Production Team Leader and work directly with the operators and the CTO, so decisions don't take weeks.
- You are welcome to taste everything that comes off the line.
