• Leading or supporting project initiatives that contribute to the warehousing and inbound logistics strategy.
• Working with team members to ensure accurate preservation, maintenance, and care of materials throughout the physical supply chain.
• Acting as Supplier Management Job Representative or Contract Accountable Manager (CAM) for relevant service contracts, ensuring supplier management activities follow bp procedures.
• Supporting compliance requirements, including audit participation and completion of activities advised by the HRA Sponsor.
