Logistics Operative Team Leader

Vacancy Summary

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Logistics Team Leader to join our dayshift operation at Dalton.

This is a hands-on leadership role requiring someone who can organise and coordinate daily activities while maintaining high standards of safety, quality and productivity.

A key part of the role will involve overseeing pack building and preparation activities, so the successful candidate must have a good practical understanding of pack building and be confident reading and interpreting drawings to ensure packs are constructed accurately and to the required specification.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership, can work with minimal supervision and is comfortable making decisions and solving problems as they arise.
