You'll also have:

  • Experience in facilities, cleaning, logistics, warehouse or a similar operational role (preferred).
  • A flexible, hands-on approach with a willingness to support different areas of the business.
  • Good organisational skills and the ability to work independently.
  • Basic IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
  • Knowledge of SAP and a forklift truck licence would be advantageous but are not essential.
