• Collaborate with team members to meet tight operational deadlines and support overall dock efficiency.
• Undertake additional tasks or special projects as directed by supervisors.

• Experience with hostling or yard‑mule duties.
• Familiarity with electronic freight‑management systems or manual documentation processes.
• Certification to operate a forklift or willingness to obtain certification through arenaflex’s training program.
• Previous exposure to dock environments, including handling of hazardous materials and compliance with safety regulations.
