**The day to day**
A standard day gives me and the team great variety between:

- Esky collections - Driving our golf buggy to the sample receipt building to pick up returned sample eskies for reuse
- Sample equipment recycling - setting returned eskies on the custom-built pressure cleaner
- Stock and storage - Stock auditing of sample kit supplies and progression of our new sample storage service (a project the team will work on together)
- Hands on tasks - including packing and dispatch of sample kit orders

The location is great with ample on street parking, and our workspace a large open plan warehouse/office mix building opening to the outdoor esky storage, pressure clean and sample pick up areas. I love to start the day early missing traffic, work with great people and be home at a reasonable hour.

In order to be successful, you will:

- Thrive working quickly, effectively, and accurately preparing container orders / containers
- Enjoy the mix of working autonomously, with peer support and connection as needed and with flexibility when performing key tasks to maximise output to the varied priorities of the day

- Be a clear communicator, to aid the team in best supporting each other
- Reliable and a professional ALS brand ambassador to our clients and courier partners
- Be confident in basic computer skills (Microsoft outlook, excel, word)
- Ideally hold a current forklift licence and have previous forklift experience (desired but not essential)

This position requires a strong drive to go the extra mile, excellent organisational skills, and a high level of attention to detail.
