lageroperatør

Lageroperatør is a warehouse worker who handles goods within warehouses, distribution centers or similar facilities. The role centers on receiving, storing, picking, packing and shipping products, ensuring that stock is properly managed and movements are documented. A lageroperatør contributes to efficient material flow and accuracy in inventory records.

In inbound and outbound processes, a lageroperatør receives deliveries, inspects for damage, assigns storage locations, and performs put-away. On the outbound side, they pick items according to orders, pack and label packages, prepare shipments, and coordinate with carriers. They may perform cycle counts and stock checks to maintain inventory accuracy and support returns processing and quality checks.

Equipment and technology used by lageroperatører include forklifts and other material-handling devices, pallet jacks and electric pallet trucks, barcodes or RFID scanners, and warehouse management systems (WMS) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. They work to optimize space, follow loading and unloading procedures, and maintain orderly and safe work areas.

Qualifications and training typically include vocational education in logistics or warehousing, with on-the-job training. Many jurisdictions require certification or licensing for forklift operation and ongoing safety training. Physical fitness, attention to detail, and the ability to work in teams are important, as is adherence to safety regulations and standard operating procedures.

Lageroperatører work across industries such as retail, manufacturing, logistics and e-commerce, and may advance to supervisory or specialist roles in inventory control, shipping, or distribution management.
