What This Role Involves
The organisation is investing in its Christiana operation, and this Picker Packer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider North West business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in North West make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Christiana.

Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Christiana group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
