The value of logistics engineers: ‘Greater insight can deliver savings’

24 September 2024

Business engineer, logistics engineer. Whatever the function is called, more and more logistics service providers are employing someone who gets completely into the skin of the consignor and is his logistics enquirer. What qualities do they have? What do they bring to the company? And what do they need to remain relevant in the future? Sjoerd Rijs; logistics engineer at KLG Europe shares his experience. Sjoerd Rijs' salary slip at KLG Europe reads “operational excellence engineer”. Quite a mouthful, but it turns out to be just a designation. In conversation with the customer, he works on better logistics processes. He does this based on data and experience with optimisation processes.

Rijs (25) has been working in this position for about three years now. He started at KLG while studying Logistics Management at Fontys Venlo. He was already offered a contract during his internship and, in his own words, has no regrets about staying here while he actually wanted to pursue another master's degree. ‘I feel right at home here,’ he says.
