An average working day

It’s Monday morning, and you step into our vibrant office in Sumar, greeted by the aroma of fresh coffee. Today promises to be dynamic. You kick off enthusiastically by inspecting an incoming goods delivery and logging it into our ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics Business Central. In between, a supplier calls to align on a purchase order, and with your proactive approach, you ensure everything runs smoothly.

After lunch, you prepare an export shipment to Canada, complete with accurate export documents and product lists with HS codes. You briefly consult with the sales team to support their planning and handle a customer call about a shipment. At the end of the day, you update the inventory and look ahead to next month’s trade show in Belgium, where you’ll assist with preparations and possibly help with setup and teardown. You’re already excited about it. With a sense of accomplishment, you wrap up, knowing your work drives Trivec and our customers forward.

Do you thrive on logistics, procurement, and international trade? Are you an organized, proactive, and customer-focused talent? Then this exciting role as a Logistics and Purchasing Officer at Trivec is your chance to shine!
