What does it depend on?
Only together can we master the challenges we face every day: team spirit and open communication are important to us! A sense of responsibility is required, for example, when hazardous substances have to be stored according to regulations in order not to harm people and the environment. Driving forklift trucks, cranes or lifting platforms and operating conveyor and sorting systems requires caution. Care is required when assembling deliveries for dispatch and when storing and packing the goods.
