The Warehouse / Logistics Assistant coordinates and executes the assigned warehouse and/or logistics activities and processes, ensuring operational management of logistical providers and/or internal employees (e.g., warehouse staff, drivers) in line with specifications, orders, and safety policies. This role is crucial for safe, efficient, and effective material and equipment storage and flows, optimally supporting the OpCo’s production, warehousing, and distribution processes in realizing their objectives.
The Warehouse / Logistics Assistant is a support/execution role in Logistics/Supply Chain, focusing on the administrative support and execution of the warehousing function, logistics, or a combination of both areas.
Typically, depending on the size and structure of the logistics/warehousing function, the Warehouse / Logistics Assistant will report to the Warehouse & Logistics Manager, Warehouse Manager, or Transport/Logistics Manager. In larger operations, the role will be more specific, focusing on areas like stock control or transport planning. In smaller OpCo’s, the assistant may need to be an all-rounder, engaging in all aspects of goods control and distribution, which may also include driving a forklift if required.
