Logistics team leader: the driver of a smooth-running warehouse
Are you a born leader, do you keep an overview in busy situations and do you have experience in logistics? Then the position of logistics team leader is made for you. As a logistics team leader, you are responsible for the daily management of the warehouse team. You ensure that processes run efficiently, employees know what to do and customer agreements are met. A versatile job in which you coordinate, motivate and contribute to a logistics process that is right down to the last detail.
At Euro Planit, we help you find a job as a logistics team leader with reliable employers in logistics, production, distribution and wholesale, among others. Whether you already have managerial experience or want to progress from a position as a warehouse assistant or order picker: we will make sure you land in the right place.
What does a logistics team leader do?
As logistics team leader, you manage a group of warehouse employees on a daily basis. You divide the work, monitor progress, support operational tasks and act as a link between the floor and management. You know better than anyone how important it is that everything is done on time and as agreed: from incoming goods to shipments.
You are not only involved in management, but also in process improvement, safety and quality. You know exactly what is going on on the shop floor and intervene when necessary.
Common tasks of a logistics team leader:
- Managing and supervising the logistics team (5-25 employees)
- Planning and distributing activities such as order picking, loading/unloading and stock management
- Monitoring delivery times, work pace and quality standards
- Holding work meetings and performance interviews
- Breaking in new colleagues and monitoring team development
- Identifying bottlenecks and contributing ideas for improvements
- Monitoring compliance with safety and hygiene rules
- Maintaining contact with departments such as planning, purchasing and transport
Depending on the organisation, you work day shift or shift work and are responsible for a specific zone, department or the entire warehouse.
Which sectors can you work in as a logistics team leader?
The role of logistics team leader occurs in various sectors where physical goods are processed. Euro Planit mediates team leader positions within such areas as:

- Production and industry - Managing internal transport and warehouse logistics
- Food and retail - working with fresh produce, seasonal items and just-in-time logistics
- Technical wholesale or e-commerce - sophisticated order processing and stock management
We offer positions at both large logistics service providers and SME companies where you will be given a lot of responsibility.
What do you need to become a team leader in logistics?
A good logistics team leader has strong communication skills and an eye for people and processes. You work systematically, dare to take decisions and know how to motivate colleagues to achieve the best result together.
Important skills and requirements
- MBO or HBO work and thinking level, preferably in the direction of logistics or engineering

- Management experience is a big plus, or demonstrable ambition
- Good organisational and communication skills
- Eye for safety, quality and efficiency
