Verify product, quantities, pallets and documentation against approved manifests before dispatch, and exercise authority to stop or delay a load where safety, food safety, accuracy or documentation requirements aren't met.
Maintain warehouse and cold store standards, including food safety, hygiene, pest control, forklift/pedestrian controls and equipment defect escalation.
Coordinate with Production, Planning, Quality, Customer Service and Logistics on product availability, holds, order accuracy and load readiness.
Champion WHS and environmental protocols, and drive Continuous Improvement to reduce miss-picks, product damage, loading delays and inventory variance.
