Testimonials

I joined ID Logistics in 2014 for an internship at the end of my university studies with the R&D department. After my internship, I was hired on a permanent basis as an R&D engineer.

Training
Initial training on joining ID Logistics. For 2 weeks, I did a tour of the different kinds of ID Logistics sites. I also had the opportunity to undergo training in personal safety at logistics sites.

I specialised in studying networks and transportation organisation.
On a day-to-day basis, I conduct research and implement transport organisational structures, and then add value to the solution recommended by ID Logistics. I am particularly fond of my job. My current position enables me to acquire experience quickly in the different areas of transportation due to the diverse nature of the calls for tenders we work on.

My career began in Shanghai in 2010, where I was hired on an International Volunteers in Business (IVB) contract as Project Manager.
I still work in project management but across a much broader scope. My responsibilities cover the management and monitoring of a large national project in South Africa.

Why and how have you evolved?
With my IVB contract coming to an end in 2012, I wanted to continue to gain experience abroad and also to be involved in major projects in which I could have greater responsibility. I was offered a permanent position based in South Africa to look after the development of operations in the country.

I was hired in 2008 as order picker and receiving agent.
I was then made Assistant Manager. After that, I was promoted to Specialist stock manager, where my responsibilities increased with new duties such as creating performance indicators, managing a team and checking dry storage and fresh produce cross-docking procedures.

In 2011, I was offered the position of IT specialist. I was responsible for providing everyday support for users of the WMS, Infolog training, testing and improving processes, and WMS configuration.
Since January 2015, I have been working for the Operations Department in Poland as WMS Project Coordinator.

During my career with ID Logistics, I have been able to hold a variety of positions such as stock manager, process manager, warehouse manager and operations manager. This has enabled me to acquire a wide range of experience and extensive knowledge. I am currently R&D manager.

Why and how have you evolved?
In most cases, these were offers made to me by my line managers. Only my last promotion was a result of my own initiative.

How do you feel in your current job? What are your main duties?
I am pleased with my new job. I have the opportunity to get to know customers “on the other side”. Previously I worked on projects that had already been agreed, while now I have a real impact on new contracts. My past experience gives me a better understanding of customer needs. My main duties are preparing and selling logistics services and promoting innovation.

I won an internship in 2004 in the R&D department as part of my master’s degree programme, followed by a permanent position. In 2007, I joined the Operations Department to help with the development and structuring of the company. In 2011, the company assigned the Re-engineering and Start-up unit to me, with the management of a team of project managers. In 2013, wanting to take on new challenges, I moved into the role of site manager.

Why and how have you evolved?
My development at ID Logistics can be summarised as follows:
– My strong commitment in the duties assigned to me and my desire to work as part of a team.
– The notion that a job is what you want to make of it. The company’s development means that you need to play a driving role in your position.
– Proximity and communication with management, meaning that everyone is able to express their professional aspirations.
