Rohlik is a fast-growing e-commerce and logistics company that owns its end-to-end operations, from in-house technology and automated distribution centers to last-mile delivery. The company operates advanced warehouse automation and goods-to-person (G2P) systems across multiple European markets.
As Head of Warehouse Projects, you will be the single point of accountability for delivering large-scale CapEx implementation projects across Rohlik's European warehouse network. You will own the complete execution lifecycle of major warehouse automation initiatives—from retrofits and G2P integrations in legacy facilities to full layout rollouts for new expansion sites.
Key responsibilities include:
- End-to-end delivery execution of warehouse implementation projects (fit-outs, retrofits, new site layouts) from kickoff through commissioning, go-live, and operational handover

- Vendor and site governance: managing external contractors, equipment vendors, and integrators to ensure quality standards and delivery commitments
- Cross-functional coordination with Solution Design, Automation, Procurement, Facilities, and Operations teams to translate designs into operational assets
- Risk management and proactive escalation of project dependencies and blockers
- Leading commissioning, testing, and operational readiness activities with clear handover and maintenance protocols for local teams
- Stakeholder reporting on project status, risk, and financial variance to leadership
You will interface directly with leadership across multiple functions and play a central role in scaling Rohlik's operational footprint. The role offers high organizational visibility, hands-on delivery of cutting-edge automation technologies, and the opportunity to transform engineering designs into fully functioning, high-throughput fulfillment hubs across Europe.
Benefits include competitive fixed salary, €4/day meal support, hybrid work flexibility, paid vacation above statutory minimums, professional development opportunities, team events, and free Gurkerl Xtra membership.
