ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Despatch Manager you will lead a team of Despatch Team Members, and you will be responsible for planning and delegating the workflow of each day.

You’ll love staying active, as this role requires frequent heavy lifting, and you’ll need to champion the focus of safety in the workplace by educating and leading your team on the policies and procedures in place to keep them safe at all times.
