• 3–5 years of relevant HSE experience, ideally within a distribution center, warehouse or high-volume logistics environment.

• Knowledge in ISO standards (ISO 45001, 14001) is an advantage.

• A proven affinity for road safety and fleet management is essential, given the nature of our last-mile delivery operations.

• Driver’s license
