• leading, motivating and coaching your team on the shop floor;
• actively supporting loading, unloading and sorting activities when required;

Your team stands out within DSV by a compact, committed group of warehouse employees operating in an environment where teamwork is essential. You are the spider in the web: visible, approachable and clear. Through your leadership style, you bring people together and keep the team motivated, even during busy shifts.
