Work Environment

Multiple shifts are available, including SundayThursday and TuesdaySaturday options such as 06:0014:00, 10:0018:00, 12:0020:00, 14:0022:00, and 22:0006:00. The operation offers a high-energy atmosphere with constant activity, tight deadlines, and significant collaboration across the team. Over time, there may be potential for hybrid flexibility, but the standard expectation for this role is fully onsite. The position offers a long-term career opportunity in supply chain, with a culture that emphasizes taking great care of employees once they transition to direct employment, and provides shift and weekend premiums for eligible hours worked.
