- Use company-provided handheld devices for navigation, delivery confirmation, and communication.
- Act as our brand ambassador. You’ll answer questions, solve placement puzzles, and ensure every container is clean and presentable.
- When you aren't on the road, you'll help with storage centre functions, forklift operation, and light container maintenance to keep the operation humming.
