Mission / Scope:

The Business Support Department of Krones FBL provides professional administrative solutions in order to support our customers in France, Belgium, Luxemburg and Africa.

As part of the Business Support Department, the Spare Parts Team is responsible for:

• the accurate and efficient processing of orders of Key Accounts overseas. The orders are received via a central mailbox and are always to be linked to previously prepared quotations.
• further steps in the logistics process by following up on delivery of spare parts and by organising and monitoring the necessary transport and courier services.

In this context, the Spare Parts Team Members have regular contact with the central purchasing office of the Key Account, based in Geneva (Switzerland).

The Spare Parts Officer directly reports to Lead Central Support Functions.

Position:

As Spare Parts Officer, you will be:

• Working on the processing and analyzing of incoming requests for quotations from a Key Account, present in different countries, via a central inbox.
• Checking whether orders match previously prepared quotations.
• Entering the correct order into SAP with an eye for accuracy and correctness.
• Generating confirmation documents via SQL.
• Maintaining a good relationship and communication (phone / email) with the members of the central purchasing office of the Key Account.
• Working with the technical clarification team in order to provide relevant information and offers to the customer through technical datasheets.

Profile:

• You have preferably a bachelor degree or proven experience in a more complex, administrative environment. An initial experience in an order handling department (in an industrial service company) would be an asset.
• You speak and write fluently English and French. Dutch is a nice to have but no necessity for this job.
• You are computer literate and are used to juggling between different systems. Good knowledge of MS Office is a must, practical knowledge with SAP or similar systems would be practical.
• You like working with numbers, have an analytical mindset and are proactively reaching out when you notice discrepancies in data since you understand the financial implication of data.
• You do not mind a job which is on the one hand repetitive but on the other hand requires a good eye for detail and concentration.
• You are eager to learn and to share with others whilst also working autonomously.
• You like to work in environments with predefined processes.
• You are a fine team player, collaborative, enthusiastic and willing to continuously seek how things can be done better.

Context:

• Fixed contract of 6 months, potentially renewable or converted into an open-ended contract.
• No homework under fixed term contract. Homeworking is granted once the contract is renewed or converted into an open-ended contract.
• The role is based in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium).
• Full time working regime though with flexible working hours, leading to a nice work-life balance.
• In-house training + close follow-up and support.
