Everything you need to know about logistics worker in Flanders

What does a logistics worker do?

As a logistics worker, you are the link between delivery and end customer. You work in a warehouse, distribution centre or production hall and ensure that goods are ready at the right place and time. Concretely, this includes tasks such as:

Order picking: you collect products according to order forms.
Packing and labelling: you prepare shipments for transport.
Inventory management: you keep track of stock and report shortages.
Loading and unloading: you move pallets with a pallet truck or forklift.

The job requires a hands-on mentality and an eye for detail. Both starters and experienced workers are welcome: those with a forklift or reach truck certificate have a better chance of specialised positions.

Salary of a logistics worker in Flanders

The salary depends on experience, region and sector. A starting logistics worker earns an average of €2,200 gross per month, while someone with several years of experience can earn up to €2,800. In West Flanders, wages are slightly lower than in East Flanders, but thanks to shift premiums (for example 30% extra for night work), the net salary can rise considerably.

Students and flexi-jobbers are often paid by the hour, with an average gross hourly wage of €14.50 to €16.50. Use our filter by contract type to see exactly what you can earn as a student.

What skills and training do you need?

For most logistics positions, no specific diploma is required. A B driving licence and a certificate for electric pallet trucks are useful. Some employers ask for a warehouse worker certificate or a VDAB logistics training. But motivation and physical condition often weigh more heavily. Experience with a scanner or WMS system is a plus.
