• Working with Operations to reduce pallet losses and identify opportunities for pallet recovery.
• Liaising with customers, transport providers, pallet suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve issues.
• Providing day-to-day leadership, coaching and support to a small pallet administration team.
• Ensuring consistent pallet control processes and standards are maintained across the business.
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, data accuracy and cost control.

About You

• 2+ years' administration experience within the transport or logistics sector.
• Sound understanding of pallet control and reconciliation processes.
• Experience using the 2IC pallet management system.
• Effective communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Well-developed organisation and problem-solving skills.
• High attention to detail and an analytical mindset.
• Experience providing guidance, training or day-to-day support to team members.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and competing priorities while meeting deadlines.

Experience with CHEP and Loscam will be highly regarded.

• Attractive remuneration package, in line with your skills and experience.
• Opportunities for growth in a company that promotes from within.
