You’ll be out in the yards, on your feet, managing people, coordinating product movements and working closely with Production, Operations and Logistics.

Working closely with Production, Operations and Logistics

Priorities will change.
Something will inevitably be in the wrong place just when somebody needs it.
If that makes you want to get involved and sort it, you’ll probably fit in very well.
