Production / Logistics

Discover your future at Henri Willig’s cheese factory in Heerenveen

Are you currently working in production, logistics, warehousing or an industrial setting and ready to take the next step? If so, the dairy industry offers a surprising number of opportunities.

At Henri Willig’s cheese factory in Heerenveen, we’re regularly looking for motivated staff who want to apply their experience in production or logistics within a modern food production environment.

Many of our colleagues started out as production staff, warehouse staff, machine operators or logistics staff and have gone on to become operators, cheesemakers, product specialists or team leaders.

Why switch to the food and dairy sector?

The food industry is one of the most stable sectors in the Netherlands. People will always eat and drink, which means that demand for well-trained staff in food production remains high.

In addition, the dairy industry offers:

Good terms of employment
Training and career progression opportunities
The chance to work with modern production technology
A future-proof sector
Extra earnings through shift allowances
Skilled craftsmanship and specialisation

Your experience is worth more than you think

Perhaps you’ve never worked in a cheese factory before. That’s no problem. Many of the skills you use every day in production or logistics are directly applicable in our cheese factory.

Does this sound like you? You’re used to:

Working to procedures
Checking quality
Working safely
Working as part of a team
Achieving production targets
Working with machinery
Taking responsibility
Monitoring processes

This will give you a solid foundation for roles within the dairy industry.

Who might be interested in switching?

From operator to product specialist. From production worker to team leader. At Henri Willig, we see every day how people from production and logistics build successful careers within the food sector. Not because they already know everything. But because they’re willing to learn.
