Vacancy
As a Production Employee at Wasserij/Linnenverhuur G. van der Kleij & Zn., you are responsible for processing towels and linen using folding and/or ironing machines. You ensure that the folded laundry is correctly sorted into containers. You work closely with your colleagues to guarantee efficient and clean handling of the textiles. Part of your role is inspecting the laundry to make sure everything is processed in good condition.
During your daily tasks, you are constantly on the move. You alternate between feeding linen into one side of the machine and collecting the folded and/or ironed stacks from the other side. Additionally, you help with sorting the laundry and occasionally move roll containers to the correct (work) locations. It’s important that you work well with your team and perform the tasks quickly and accurately. Sometimes, extra attention is required to filter out linen that isn’t clean enough or has damage, or to pack the roll containers exactly as requested by the customer. At the end of the day, you tidy and clean your workstation.
You will be part of a motivated team that ensures a smooth production flow. The department works according to a tight schedule where everyone knows their role and tasks are well coordinated. You will find yourself in a friendly but hard-working environment where teamwork and quality are key.
If you enjoy working with both folding and ironing machines, sorting linen neatly, and take pride in performing careful and high-quality work, then this is the job for you.
Working week
On a good working day you are able to work without interruptions. Everything runs smoothly and you can easily perform your tasks.
On a more challenging working day, you have to deal with a malfunction or have to wait for new laundry. Meanwhile, you can't continue with your work.
