SATS-WFS has a strong presence across a combined network of over 215 locations and employs over 46 000 of the finest professionals all over the world.  

At WFS Schiphol, everything revolves around timing, overview and teamwork. Behind the warehouse, we ensure that Unit Load Devices (ULDs) are transported to and from the aircraft at the right moment, via the correct transport and in line with the planning. As an Assistant Cargo Controller, you play a key role in this process.

What will you do?

In the role of Assistant Cargo Controller, you support the Cargo Controller with daily operational tasks. You monitor the progress of cargo flows, maintain overview of ULD movements and ensure that operations run according to plan.

In the absence of the Cargo Controller, you prepare daily plans based on flight schedules and expected cargo volumes, aligning these with the capacity of the transport system. You coordinate ULD flows between the warehouse, platform and airside and ensure that priorities are followed. You register and check cargo data and monitor import and export processes in the system. In addition, you supervise Cargo Control staff, cargo drivers and couriers on the work floor. You distribute tasks, monitor progress and address colleagues when necessary. You also guide new employees and contribute to a positive working atmosphere and good cooperation.

You work with the PCHS system and support colleagues in its daily use. In case of system disruptions, you actively look for solutions and independently resolve first-line issues. You also ensure order and overview airside, including the positioning and deployment of dollies, pallet wagons and other mobile equipment. In addition, you are involved in loading and unloading trucks at the Moving Truck Dock (MTD).

This is a hands-on role in which you switch between the warehouse, office and the Cargo Control department.

What do you bring?

• Experience in air cargo, cargo control or a comparable logistics environment
• Experience with pallet movers and tractors, such as Mulag, is an advantage
• A valid category B driving licence
• Strong technical and operational insight
• Stress-resistant and able to maintain overview during busy periods
• Good command of both Dutch and English
• Willingness to work in shifts within a 24/7 operation
• Experience in a leadership role or as a senior operational employee

What do we offer?

• A salary between €2,700 and €3,500 gross per month based on a 38-hour workweek
• In addition, shift allowances for evening, night and weekend work; based on a standard roster, you can earn an average of 22% irregular hours allowance (ORT) on top of your salary
• Travel allowance and parking facilities
• Opportunities to develop yourself within the organisation and within this role
• A pension scheme with the majority of contributions paid by WFS
• A one-year contract with the prospect of a permanent position
