Supervise shipping & receiving activities, ensuring timely dispatches and accurate receipt of goods.
Utilize ERP systems such as AS400 for order processing, inventory control, and data analysis to inform decision-making.
Coordinate materials handling activities including forklift operations, picking & packing, and warehouse layout optimization.

Qualifications

At least 5 years' professional experience in logistics, supply chain & distribution.
Degree or equivalent qualification in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Business, Accounting, Procurement or a related discipline.
