Every order bol delivers starts its journey inside a fulfillment centre. As the Building Lead you’ll help take bol’s newest warehouse from the initial design stage through construction and handover. An inspirational responsibility, because you own the building workstream end-to-end: guiding the VO→TO→DO design process, managing the tendering and contracting of construction partners, and ensuring the warehouse is delivered on time, on spec, and ready to process millions of orders. A rare opportunity to shape a building from the very first sketch!

A fulfillment center is a finely integrated ecosystem where the structural design, building services, and mechanization requirements must all align. How do you design a building that accommodates an automation system we’re still specifying? How do you keep the construction timeline moving when the operational requirements are still being refined? And how do you achieve continuous improvement and knowledge sharing in a fast-paced and demanding environment? You’ll resolve tensions between design ambitions and buildability, between speed-to-site and quality standards, and between competing stakeholder priorities.

You have 10+ years of leading projects experience, including construction project management for industrial or logistics facilities. You understand the full lifecycle, from design through construction and handover. You have a track record of navigating complex stakeholder environments, and are the type of manager you’d gladly follow yourself; understanding, clear, and inspiring. Affinity with the Dutch construction industry is essential; experience with building warehouses is the cherry on top.

Your ability to connect design intent with operational reality sets you apart. You ask the right questions early – about flexibility, future-proofing, and how a building’s design optimally serves the intended logistics processes. You are equally adept at translating those insights into requirements that construction partners can act on. You communicate with ease across a wide range of disciplines and organizational levels, build rapport without forcing issues, and remain composed and professional when priorities overlap. Fluency in Dutch is required; English proficiency is also required. The same goes for an academic background in a technical or construction-related discipline.

You’ll join the Infrastructure Development team within bol’s logistics organization. This team delivers projects that shape bol’s fulfillment network . The environment is diverse, welcoming, collaborative, and hands-on: we bring different perspectives together, enthusiastically share our knowledge, and hold each other accountable. With 2,900 colleagues, 47,000 partners, and 13.7 million customers, the projects you deliver directly support the logistics backbone that makes it all work. Sound appealing? This is your chance to design and build infrastructure that sets a new and higher standard.
