You''ll ideally have experience in logistics, transport, despatch or supply chain, an understanding of UK freight and carrier networks beneficial, not essential.

Ideally you will have a experience of driving a Counter balance Forklift or be happy to learn. This is to help out moving orders if and needed to support the team

You''ll need excellent organisation and attention to detail, strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a busy manufacturing environment.

Experience with ERP/WMS/TMS or transport booking systems would be advantageous.
