Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
The business unit where I sit in is within the National Logistics Optimisation team. My team overseas and contributes to help enhance performances across the region. For instance, ensuring our trucks or trains are being utilised to their full potential, eliminating waiting time etc. My involvement on a day to day basis is updating key KPI data, building internal reports for senior management on PowerBi and any other ad hoc activities. Ultimately, being involved as much as I can.
