This position involves coordinating shipping and receiving activities, managing inventory, and assisting with various logistics tasks to optimise the daily operations.

• Proficiency in materials handling techniques, including picking, packing, and forklift operations
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and a keen attention to detail.
