What We're Looking For Essential - Previous experience in a warehouse, logistics, distribution, equipment hire or similar operational environment. - Previous team leader, supervisor or management experience. - Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities. - A hands-on approach – you must be willing to work alongside the team rather than only supervise. - Good stock control and inventory management experience. - Strong attention to detail. - Comfortable working in a busy, fast-paced environment. - Good computer literacy and confidence learning new systems. - Able to identify problems and take ownership of resolving them. - Good communication skills and the confidence to work with different departments. - A practical, common-sense approach to getting work completed. - Ability to remain calm and organised when priorities change.
