Service delivery and improvement

  • Liaise with transport controllers, customer service teams and customers to resolve operational queries.
  • Monitor warehouse performance and provide accurate reports to management.
  • Control labour, overtime and operating costs within the agreed budget.
  • Identify improvements that reduce handling errors, damage and unnecessary delays.

Proposed qualifications and experience

  • Practical knowledge of receiving, dispatch, inventory control and vehicle loading.
  • Experience managing operational teams and varying workloads.
  • Computer literacy, including Excel and warehouse or stock management systems.
  • Strong documentation, reporting and problem-solving skills.

Personal suitability

A firm, fair and organised manager who remains calm under pressure, communicates clearly and takes ownership of operational problems.

Proposed performance measures

  • Receiving and dispatch accuracy.
  • Stock accuracy and timely resolution of discrepancies.
  • On-time dispatch and vehicle turnaround.
  • Damage and loss control.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
