- Liaise with team members and external receivers/senders for shipments (blast yard, private venue, training venue, etc.)

· Contribute to our financial sustainability by effectively sourcing consumables and ensuring our equipment is packed effectively, maintained, and repaired where appropriate.

· Work in a supportive and inclusive team environment with a safety focus, which supports each other and treats each other with respect.
