Dear Hiring Manager,
William Wilson's Operations Assistant role in Perth is a strong match for my background in commercial delivery driving and warehouse support. The combination of 3.5-tonne van delivery, manual handling of trade goods such as boilers and radiators, and Health and Safety compliance aligns directly with my day-to-day experience in a similar trade environment.
My background in delivery operations includes managing multi-drop routes efficiently, loading and unloading heavy items safely in line with manual handling guidelines, and providing warehouse picking and packing cover when required. I hold a full UK Driving Licence with a clean record and am confident using PC-based systems for route planning and stock management.
