WHAT YOU WILL DO

As a Team Leader, you are a key frontline leader, driving the success of a dynamic operations team within the processing site. You play a critical role in ensuring the precise handling and processing of customers' goods in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), while actively contributing to daily departmental goals for safety, quality, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence.
