• Ability to stop non-compliant dispatches.
• Request product relabeling or repacking as needed.
• Quarantine damaged or non-conforming items.
• Work closely with departments including Warehouse, Logistics, Sales, Procurement, and Management for continuous improvement.

Candidate Profile

• Energetic, proactive, and comfortable performing physical tasks on the warehouse floor.
• Problem-solving capabilities coupled with rigorous documentation habits.

• No incorrectly labeled products entering storage.
• Verification of customer-specific labels before outbound shipment.
• Immediate recording of discrepancies on the same day they are identified.
• Resolution of FIFO deviations or stale stock within 48 hours.
