• The ability to interpret operational data, make sound decisions and improve processes.
• A calm, accountable and hands‑on approach in a fast‑paced operation.
• Desirable: food, perishables or cold-chain experience; experience managing contracted transporters; relevant logistics or supply‑chain qualifications; and exposure to WMS and TMS platforms.
