Description
Veepee, the internet sales group, has announced the recruitment of 200 employees on permanent positions at its logistics sites in Saint-Vulbas and La Boisse (Ain). The company is seeking workers for 'order pickers' roles. These positions support the numerous investments made on Lyon's logistics sites, including the commissioning of an innovative production tool for order preparation in less than 24 hours, in order to develop the logistics chain and thus anticipate the company's future challenges.
