What You’ll Be Doing
- Tech Management & Logistics: You’re the guardian of our Saturn handheld devices. You’ll manage the check-in/out process for the warehouse team, ensuring every unit is accounted for, fully charged, and updated. If a device is acting up, you’ll log the repairs to keep the operation moving without a glitch.
- Data Guru: You’ll navigate our internal Universe system and Google Docs like a pro. Your mission is to maintain real-time data accuracy, ensuring that every entry is precise so the depot runs like a well-oiled machine, answering any calls to drivers struggling on road.
- Driver Onboarding & Checks: You’ll be the welcoming face and first point of contact for our agency drivers. Your mission is to handle their onboarding seamlessly, conducting all essential checks and ensuring full compliance before they can hit the road.
- Training & Development: You are our on-the-ground coach. Alongside your daily duties, you'll deliver crucial site safety and operational training to new warehouse staff and drivers, making sure everyone is set up for safe success from day one.
- Safety & Standards: You’ll help keep the vibe professional and safe by maintaining an organized workspace and following health and safety protocols to protect yourself and the team.
Qualifications
What You Bring
- A Sharp Eye for Detail: You’re the type of person who spots a typo or a missing entry from a mile away. Whether you're tracking expensive tech or updating delivery logs, you take pride in 100% accuracy and never 'just wing it.'
- Digital Fluency: You don't need to be a coder, but you should be a 'natural' with tech. You’re comfortable navigating Google Workspace (Docs/Sheets) and can quickly learn our bespoke internal platforms, like Universe, to manage high-volume data entry.
- The 'Cool Under Pressure' Factor: Depots are high-energy environments with tight deadlines. You stay focused and chill when the floor gets busy, prioritising your tasks effectively without losing your rhythm.
- Top-Tier Communication: You’re a 'people person' who can switch gears effortlessly—from professional and empathetic when helping a customer, to clear and collaborative when briefing our driver team.
- Adaptability & Drive: You’re proactive. If you see a way to make a process smoother or a colleague who needs a hand, you jump in. You’re flexible with your duties and show up with the self-determination to excel.
- The DPD DNA: You genuinely vibe with our core values. You lead with Respect, act with Honesty, stay Flexible, and take Accountability for your work every single day.
