The Person We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who can lead while remaining hands-on.

The right candidate should be able to understand what is happening operationally, ask questions when information does not make sense, make practical decisions and guide the team towards better accuracy, discipline and accountability.

We do not expect the Logistics Manager to manage a large department.

We need someone who can build a small, capable and dependable team that understands its responsibilities and takes ownership of the operation.
