Senior Operator - Operations

Role Summary

The ATO will be responsible for daily physical warehouse activities within the new Global Warehouse operation in Sachiura.

The primary expectation is to perform warehouse activities safely, accurately, and efficiently while adhering to Maersk and customer operational standards.

As this is a new operation, the ATOs will also contribute to establishing basic working standards and a stable operation from the outset.

Key Responsibilities

• Receive and unload materials.
• Verify incoming materials and the related information.
• Perform put-away and material movement activities.
• Perform picking, packing, and outbound preparation activities.
• Load and unload trucks and containers.
• Move materials within the warehouse.
• Operate forklifts or other MHE when qualified.
• Perform inventory checks, cycle counts, and stocktakes.
• Maintain accurate physical inventory and storage locations.
• Complete required system transactions.
• Follow SOPs and work instructions.
• Comply with all Maersk and customer safety and quality requirements.
• Complete required equipment checks before operation.
• Maintain 5S standards and good warehouse conditions.
• Immediately report damage, inventory discrepancies, safety concerns, or other operational issues.
• Participate in operational training and improvement activities.
• Support other warehouse activities based on operational requirements.

Requirements

• Experience in warehouse or logistics operations is preferred.
• A forklift license is strongly preferred.
• Practical experience operating forklifts or other MHE is strongly preferred.
• Experience in loading, unloading, and material handling is an advantage.
• Basic PC skills.
• Experience with SAP or a WMS is an advantage.
• Strong safety awareness.
• Strong attention to accuracy.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills.
• Reliable attendance and punctuality.
• Willingness to learn new operations and systems.
• Japanese communication skills sufficient to support safe warehouse operations.
• Basic English knowledge is an advantage but is not mandatory.

Pre-Go-Live Training

Where possible, ATOs are expected to join before the February 2027 go-live and work in our existing warehouse operation before transitioning to the new operation.

The purpose is to gain practical experience in customer warehouse processes, systems, safety requirements, and working standards.

The team is expected to understand the basic operation before the new warehouse commences, rather than beginning training after go-live.

Why This Role

You will join as one of the first operational members of the new Global Warehouse in Japan.

Before the new warehouse commences operations, you will have the opportunity to receive hands-on training within our existing customer operation and learn its warehouse processes, systems, safety standards, and material-handling practices.

As an initial member of the new team, you will have the opportunity to support the operation from the outset and build your experience as the operation grows.

This role also offers the opportunity to develop practical skills in forklift operation, inventory management, and warehouse systems, with the potential to take on broader responsibilities in the future.
