Planning & Logistics Coordinator

🌊 Who we are

At Aquablu we’re disrupting the marketplace with a revolutionary (flavored) water system. Brought to life in 2018, our founders Marnix and Marc promised a healthy but tasty alternative to soft drinks. Since launching our flagship system Aquablu REFILL in 2023, we’ve grown 300%+ year-over-year, expanded to 16 countries, and were named the Fastest Growing Tech Company in Health & Wellness in the Netherlands.

“That might sound really ambitious, but our team is part of an inspiring movement in an industry that’s thirsty for change.” - Marc, Co-founder of Aquablu

About the role

As our new Coordinator Planning & Logistics, you’ll be at the heart of our operations. You’ll be the link between our Service Engineers, logistics partners, and internal teams, making sure everything flows smoothly. From coordinating shipments to adjusting daily schedules, you’ll keep things moving and step in wherever needed.

This isn’t just a desk job. One moment you’re adjusting the planning for a Service Engineer, the next you’re solving a delivery issue or even jumping in to ship something urgent yourself. It’s a role with lots of ownership, variety, and plenty of little puzzles to solve: which client request takes priority, what’s the smartest route for tomorrow’s visits, or how do we resolve those five missing deliveries? If you love being the go-to person who keeps people and processes connected, you’ll feel right at home here.

What you’ll do

• Coordinate inbound and outbound logistics with our 3PL, including tracking packages and resolving exceptions (30%)

• Own the weekly planning and daily adjustments for our Service Engineers team (30%)

• Act as the first point of contact for Service Engineers regarding planning-related questions (20%)

• Occasionally pack and ship orders directly from our headquarters (10%)

• Contribute to operational improvement initiatives (10%)
