Circular Center Employee

Are you technical and curious about the products and things around you? Do you value sustainability and circularity? If yes, this role is for you! As a Circular Teammate in the Circular Center, you will be working on refurbishing our products. You diagnose, repair, and recondition products that can’t be sold as new.

Are you missing some of the experience or knowledge to fulfill the role? Then just bring on your positive energy and we will teach you how to repair and refurbish a wide range of products!

WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH US

Decathlon does everything to keep its customers satisfied with their products. However, a lot of items end up being returned for a variety of reasons. If something turns out to be wrong with the product, then it starts for us. We are going to breathe new life into it! Instead of throwing it away, we check, replace, and repair what is necessary to prepare the product for sale again!

You have the hands-on mentality to check the 2nd life products and repair them. We will teach you the tricks and support you with various training courses. The team is small and will expand considerably in a short time. A great opportunity for a kickstart in your (sustainable) career within a large company in the Netherlands. We will also work on initiatives such as Buyback and Rental.
