Medior Consultant Material Handling Systems

Making a difference in people’s lives while you work with clients to successfully deliver projects. As Medior Consultant Material Handling Systems you will become part of the combination between global expertise and local knowledge. That is how you help deliver a multidisciplinary range of consultancy services for the entire living environment!

What you do as Medior Consultant Material Handling Systems

"With your experience in Material Handling Systems and keen analytical insight, you will come up with the best mechanized solutions for your international customers in no time."

How do you mechanize logistics processes for lingerie and what forces are released by a 20ft air cargo pallet? How do you find a balance in investments in mechanization and automation versus manpower? Typical material handling questions you have come across in recent years. As a Medior Consultant Material Handling Systems (MHS) at Districon, you can further develop your experience in this discipline.

You will do this by:

• making a difference for an air cargo carrier anywhere in the world, for a Benelux wholesaler in DIY or a European distribution center of a world-famous sports brand;
• understanding processes and, with an open mind, devising original and optimal mechanized solutions and working these out in a design program such as AutoCAD;
• giving advice and presenting the results and findings convincingly to the client.
