Who we’re looking for 

• Previous experience in logistics administration, transport, gatehouse, warehouse administration, or similar operational environments is beneficial but not essential. 

• Confident using computers and systems, with experience of Microsoft Office. Exposure to ERP systems such as Infor M3 is an advantage, but training will be provided.

• Able to prioritise tasks, stay organised, and adapt when priorities change throughout the day. 

• A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a proactive approach to supporting the team.
