• Map current workflows, identify bottlenecks and partner with operations teams to design and implement future‑state processes that reduce waste, shorten cycle times, and improve accuracy.
• Work hands‑on with logistics teams to pilot and roll out process changes, ensuring adoption through clear documentation, training and KPI tracking.
• Use both observational analysis and operational data to monitor results post‑implementation, adjusting approaches to ensure sustained gains.
• Support day‑to‑day logistics, such as managing and maintaining accurate inventory and parts checkouts as needed for our internal customers.
• Arrange, schedule and support shipments across sites and other locations, unpack boxes and verify contents.
• Maintain a clean environment, orderliness and safety in all workspaces.

• Occasionally travel across the cluster to support other sites and lift materials up to 18 kg with support from teammates.

A day in the life

• 9:00‑18:00 work on business days.
• Work will be conducted onsite in an office/storage room area with occasional need to work outside for shipment support.
