  • Collaborating: You build, maintain and manage relationships through your honest, inclusive and dependable approach. You get the best outcome in the interests of the business, our customers and our suppliers. You will be visiting depots and meeting customers when you can to get a feel for our business and industry.
  • Communicating: You prepare weekly and monthly reports related to your project for management and any other updates or reports, so the business knows what impact is being made and where.
