• Shift Management: You will manage daily operations in the FC, ensuring that all operational activities are prioritized and reliably completed with structure and care during your shift.
• Process Optimization: Take responsibility for your own site-based optimization projects – you will implement pragmatic solutions and continuously improve our logistical processes together with the team.
