• Deliver a detailed weekly staffing plan and maintain a rolling 21-day capacity outlook, adjusting for volume shifts, planned downtime, and staff availability
• When gaps appear, you identify and activate short-term capacity levers — fixes that work now without creating headaches later
• Analyse seasonal volume trends and connect them with hiring lead times to build ramp-up plans for peak periods
• Prepare analyses, calculations, and decision material for the Site Lead: translating data into recommendations that are clear enough to act on
• Own small and medium-sized logistics projects from start to finish and contribute to larger cross-functional initiatives
• Keep stakeholders in the loop with regular, structured updates on KPIs, productivity, and capacity utilisation. No one likes surprises when it comes to numbers
