  • Ensure employees follow established safety procedures and operational standards.
  • Conduct regular walkthroughs to identify safety concerns, workflow issues, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Ensure proper use and maintenance of equipment and operational resources.
  • Promptly report safety, security, personnel, or operational incidents.
  • Maintain compliance with SPS policies, client requirements, and applicable regulations.
Improve the Operation

  • Monitor operational metrics, KPIs, and service levels.
  • Identify and address recurring operational challenges.
  • Support special projects and new initiatives as needed.
  • Partner with vendors, carriers, couriers, and other service providers when necessary.
