Analyse data sets and item/SKU data – including inbound/outbound volumes, seasonality and inventory patterns – to build customer volume profiles that inform warehouse design decisions.
Produce warehouse layout drawings using CAD tools and conduct swept path analysis to validate aisle widths, dock layouts and material handling equipment movements.
Map stock movement flows through proposed designs – receiving, storage, pick face and despatch sequencing – to validate operational viability.
Evaluate automation technologies (AMR, ASRS, conveyor, sortation) for fit-for-purpose application, including vendor comparison, ROI modelling and integration with warehouse design.
Deliver timely project updates, solution summaries and presentations, and complete commercial reviews with benefit realisation, all within the legislative safety-in-design framework.
Build and maintain positive relationships with customers and senior Linfox leaders, and support business units in customer workshops.
Leverage data analytics and emerging AI and Agentic AI tools to extract insights and build design capability within the business.
