What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Support the Shift Manager with adherence to all compliance and legal obligations during your shift with a huge emphasis on safety, deputising in their absence
• Assist with executing the daily plan for all deliveries and collections, with a keen eye on resource available at site and keep the customer updated
• Ensure all process and procedures are followed and that we operate a safe and efficient environment

What you need to succeed at XPO:
