Your workplace as a warehouse assistant
Most of our partner companies come from the logistics sector. But there are also event clients and hotels that need a hand setting up and taking down larger events. Demand for warehouse assistants rises above all in autumn and in the run-up to Christmas.
Your main place of work as a warehouse assistant is a goods warehouse. You will spend a lot of your time at goods-in and goods-out, taking deliveries in or sending them out. The work is mostly done on your own, so being able to work independently is an advantage.

What are the three main hazards in a warehouse assistant job?
Injuries, ergonomic strain, and hazardous materials. Warehouses are busy places with forklifts and heavy equipment, so staying alert and following safety rules matters. Lifting is easier on your back when you use pallet trucks and the right technique. And some goods, chemicals, sharp tools, need proper handling. That’s why Zenjob provides the required safety equipment for warehouse shifts free of charge.

In principle you can work as a warehouse assistant with Zenjob without any previous experience. You should bring physical fitness, attention to detail and reliability. Before applying for a job, we always recommend reading the requirements in the job description carefully.
Lifting isn’t for you?
If a job in the warehouse isn’t the right fit for you, there are plenty of other options in retail worth considering. You could work as a cashier, for example, and put your skills with money and customers to good use. Alternatively, you could try your hand as a sales assistant, actively interacting with people and presenting products. And if you are more practically minded, shelf stocking could be an interesting option, here you would help make the shelves look their best and keep everything in order.
