One significant difficulty in reliable quantification of the rates of mass-loss from hot, massive stars lies in uncertainties associated with quantifying temporal and spatial variability within stellar winds. The consequences of low-metallicity conditions for wind structure also merit continued investigation. We present initial results from ULLYSES data with the aim of identifying structure within the stellar winds of early B type supergiants with sub-solar metallicities in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. We demonstrate how single-epoch ULLYSES data can be used to investigate significant wind structure for these stars.
