Join Picnic as a Distribution Working Student

As a Distribution Working Student, you’ll play a key role in maintaining and optimizing our delivery model for electric vehicles.

Tricks of the trade

• Configure delivery components: Ensure all delivery model components (order slots, delivery areas, drive times, vehicle types) are up to date.
• New Hub integration: Define sub-areas and configure delivery schedules when new Hubs open, feeding into the planning algorithms.
• Evaluate delivery area configurations: Analyse existing delivery area setups to identify and implement KPI improvements (e.g., delivery times, on-time performance).
• Optimize delivery area layout: Adjust and rearrange current delivery areas based on customer order patterns and behaviour.
• Adapt to operational disruptions: Modify delivery schedules and trip planning to address disruptions such as traffic, weather, and seasonal changes.
• Operational support contact: Serve as the primary contact for operational managers needing help with temporary changes or delivery inefficiencies.
