About role
You put pallets away and retrieve them from racking up to eleven metres, working to the slot the warehouse system gives you on the terminal.

You check the truck at the start of every shift, change the battery in the charging room and log a fault at once. Shifts run 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00 with a weekly rotation.
