Assist with dock coordination, workflow management, and problem resolution.

Prioritize freight and coordinate task assignments, sometimes acting in a lead capacity (without direct supervisory responsibility).

Serve as a subject‑matter expert on dock operations, equipment, and procedures.

Train, mentor, and support the development of other Material Handlers.

All other duties as assigned to meet evolving business needs.
