Commissioning Engineer

The warehouse of the future is equipped with our autonomous robots instead of forklifts and our Atlas 2D pallet shuttles or tote shuttles that allow for high-density storage (no wasted space).

As part of stow Group which has a 40 year history, we’ve grown into a company with 10 manufacturing facilities, 19 commercial offices, and the know-how of around 2000 employees serving customers in 40 countries.

Early 2021, we opened our US Office and have since grown to over 70 people. It's exciting times to be at Movu! (pronounced Mow-voo)
