Some experience of logistics is ideal - knowing what kind of documentation is needed for overseas shipment (but will be able to rely upon a skilled Logistics and shipping compliance team at RVT). Check shipments when they arrive to see that they are what was expected, label items with a labeler, track serial numbers, put sets of equipment together (e.g. assemble together several related boxes of items: Assembly A plus Assembly B plus wiring Kit C. Not assembling electronically - just gathering a kit as a set of boxes. No need to lift anything heavy. Move lightweight single boxes only - or groups of boxes using a trolley.
