How do you feel in your current job?
My current position is very interesting and allows me to work on all aspects of our business, such as HR, finance, operations and customer relations. It is fascinating and exciting.

I joined ID in 2013 during an internship after finishing my degree following a supply chain seminar organised at my university. I joined the teams in South Africa directly in order to help with opening the country up at various levels: operational, training and projects. I am currently Operations and Development Engineer in Johannesburg.

Training
I was trained in the WMS tool as soon as I joined the company. Later on I benefited from an integration course as I worked at various ID Logistics sites.

What are your main duties?
My job has two main aims. As an Operations Engineer, I work on logistics sites in order to implement optimisation and innovation solutions with operating staff at the level of processes, methods and tools. As an R&D Engineer, I carry out pre-project studies in order to offer our customers the best logistics solutions, thereby ensuring high quality distribution at reduced cost.

I was hired in late 2007 as a Quality Assistant.
In 2009, my job changed and I took up the position of site assistant, while also looking after safety.
From 2010 to 2012: another change with the introduction of sustainable development and lean management.
2013: the Operations Department offers me the role of QHSE manager for the south of France.

How do you feel in your current job?
It is a very interesting role. Every day is different, and needs vary depending on the site and the time of year.

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.

I joined La Flèche Cavaillonnaise in 1997 as a temporary picker, and then was hired in 1999. I became a platform controller in 2000. My job mutated and changed to auditor and store dispute manager from 2002 to 2009. I joined IDL Training in 2010 as an internal trainer.

Training

How do you feel in your current job?
