• Support asset and equipment management across first and middle mile, maintaining a detailed register of cages, ULDs, totes, scanners, and other transport assets. Oversee allocation, movement tracking, condition monitoring, periodic audits, and coordination of repairs or replacements.
• Deliver operational reporting to Operations Management, preparing regular reports on first- and middle-mile performance and accuracy. Include defined KPIs (e.g. OTIF pick-ups, dispatch accuracy, departure adherence, scan/compliance rates, exceptions, cost/efficiency), providing insights and recommended actions.
• Ensure compliance with all safety, legal, and environmental regulations across transport operations to uphold company and industry standards.
• Support scalable transport solutions that accommodate business growth, seasonal demand, and evolving customer expectations.
• Collaborate with Operations and Business Development teams to enhance delivery outcomes and maintain a high level of service reliability.
