About Your Team

Our Logistics team plays a critical role in keeping our construction projects running safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

• Ensure compliance with site safety, environmental and HSE standards, including safe loading, unloading, storage and housekeeping, in line with the project lift plan, waste management plan and logistics management plan.
• Carry out inspections and audits and close out corrective actions; address safety concerns, investigate incidents and near misses, and manage changes before operations commence.
• Oversee welfare areas and diesel filling logs; liaise with suppliers, subcontractors and plant vendors on servicing, breakdowns, deliveries and off-hiring; work with Stores, Procurement, Construction and Project teams.
• Monitor use of the in-house "Load Gate" mobile application, and train Foremen, Operators, Riggers and Drivers in its use.
• Track and report plant utilisation, fuel consumption and lifting equipment status; review Foremen's timekeeping and records; identify idle plant and cost-saving opportunities using data recorded on Load Gate or other digital platforms; verify data for cost control and contra charging.
• Lead daily and weekly look-ahead meetings, and report delays, access issues, resource constraints and logistics risks.
• Coach and mentor Foremen, set performance expectations and contribute to performance reviews; capture lessons learned and implement improvements.
