• Assist with sample management activities, including sorting, packaging, transfer, storage and disposal processes.

• Work closely with laboratory teams, couriers and site personnel to coordinate logistics and ensure materials are available when needed.

• Help maintain a safe, organised and efficient warehouse environment, adhering to Fugro’s Quality, Health, Safety, Security and Environmental (QHSSE) standards.

• Support the resolution of inventory, shipment or delivery discrepancies while communicating effectively with colleagues and stakeholders.

What you’ll need to thrive in this role:

• Strong attention to detail, organisation skills and the ability to maintain accurate records.

• Good verbal and written communication skills, with a collaborative approach to working within a team environment.

• Basic computer literacy and confidence using Microsoft Office suite.

• Ability to follow procedures, prioritise tasks and work effectively to deadlines in a fast-paced operational environment.
