A logistikoperatör, or logistics operator, is a worker who performs operational duties in warehouses and distribution centers to ensure the smooth flow of goods through the supply chain. The role combines manual handling with basic digital tools to manage storage, picking, packing, and shipping activities.

They monitor inventory levels, perform cycle counts, report discrepancies, and coordinate with transport providers to schedule pickups and deliveries. The operator may also adjust storage layouts to optimize space and ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards.

Operators typically use warehouse management systems, bar code scanners, and other enterprise software.

Attention to detail, reliability, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment are important.

Qualifications commonly include a high school diploma or vocational training, on-the-job training, and a forklift or other equipment certification. Some positions require experience with WMS or ERP systems and basic health and safety knowledge. The work is usually performed in warehouses and can involve irregular or shift schedules and physical tasks.

Career paths for logistikoperatörer include progression to warehouse supervisor, logistics coordinator, inventory controller, or distribution planner. Trends in the field include increased automation, use of warehouse robotics, and data-driven optimization driven by e-commerce and just-in-time delivery.
