About the Company

Our client is a highly regarded organisation operating within the secure product destruction and sustainable resource recovery industry, servicing a broad range of customers across Southeast Queensland. With a great team, an established operation and a strong reputation in the market, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Logistics Manager to join the business and play a key role in its ongoing success.

I'm currently on the lookout for an experienced Logistics Manager who knows how to manage a fleet, lead drivers and keep transport operations running efficiently. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being operationally involved, is technically savvy and has the leadership maturity to drive positive change within an established team.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the Queensland State Manager, you will take ownership of the day-to-day logistics and fleet operations, overseeing a fleet of 24 company-owned trucks servicing the Southeast Queensland region.

Your role will involve:

• Oversee the daily operations and performance of a 24-truck fleet.
• Lead, manage and develop an established team of in-house company drivers.
• Coordinate vehicle scheduling, routing, utilisation and multi-drop delivery operations.
• Monitor driver performance, productivity and operational KPIs.
• Manage fleet maintenance, servicing, inspections and vehicle compliance.
• Ensure all safety, transport and environmental compliance requirements are met.
• Drive operational efficiencies through effective systems, reporting and process improvements.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, accountability and overall fleet performance.
• Lead positive cultural change and foster a strong, safety-focused team environment.

What You'll Bring to the Role

We're looking for someone who has solid experience in logistics or transport management and, importantly, has managed both drivers and a commercial vehicle fleet. You'll be a confident leader who understands the operational demands of transport and knows how to get the best out of people.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Demonstrated experience in logistics, transport or fleet management.
• Proven experience managing a fleet of trucks and a team of drivers.
• Experience in multi-drop delivery operations will be highly regarded.
• Strong knowledge of fleet scheduling, vehicle utilisation and operational planning.
• A sound understanding of transport safety, workplace health and safety and environmental compliance.
• Strong technical aptitude and confidence using fleet management systems, technology and reporting tools.
• Experience driving process improvements and implementing positive cultural change.
• Excellent communication and people management skills.
• A mature, practical leadership style with the confidence and life experience to manage an established workforce.
• A proactive approach, strong commercial awareness and a genuine desire to make a difference.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, leads by example and is looking for a long-term opportunity where they can really make their mark.

What's in It for You?

• Excellent salary package on offer.
• Car allowance.
• Performance-based bonus opportunity.
• Monday to Friday, with great working hours.
• Convenient Northern Gold Coast location.
• Direct reporting line to the Queensland State Manager.
• Join a fantastic organisation with a great team and supportive working environment.
• Opportunity to influence, improve and shape the future of the operation.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Logistics Manager who is looking for more than just another job. You'll be joining a well-established organisation with a great culture, a strong team and a genuine interest in finding someone who wants to be part of the business for the long term.

If you have the experience, leadership capability and drive to take ownership of a fleet operation and lead a team of drivers, I'd love to hear from you.
