Traineeship: wholesale and international trade management
As a wholesale and international trade management specialist, you are in charge of the flow of goods and are the link between manufacturers and our customers.
Your role includes, for example, comparing quotes from different manufacturers and suppliers, and determining the optimum terms and conditions for price, delivery and storage. Your role is primarily computer-based, but we’ll make sure that to you our products are more than just item numbers. By visiting our warehouse, you’ll get to know the goods you work with. To ensure that our products arrive at the customer on time and in good condition, you will also organise goods dispatch.
Through regular contact with customers and business partners, you will learn customer-focused service and work to keep customers satisfied and loyal.
The focus in international trade management is on working with international suppliers and customers, so a good knowledge of English is a bonus.
You will learn about routes and means of transport for international goods traffic and specific points (e.g. customs duties) that need to be considered when agreeing freight contracts.

Traineeship: warehouse logistics specialist

Where Waldeck differs from the norm is that we specialise in warehouse logistics, which means that we take care of warehousing, order picking and shipping for a large number of different items – over 10,000 in fact!
In the course of your traineeship, you’ll learn things like how to check that incoming goods are complete and free of defects, how to correctly record incoming goods, what to do with the documents that accompany them, and what you need to think about in terms of customs and hazardous goods regulations. With the help of forklifts and other machinery, warehouse logistics specialists move large quantities of goods. You will therefore also learn all about key standards, measurements, and units of quantity and weight. To ensure that incoming goods and products can always be located when needed, you will use our ERP system to assign then a storage location.
Your role also covers outgoing goods. You’ll learn how to pick orders and how to correctly load and secure them. You are also the contact person for upstream and downstream roles within the company.
