About The Company

Our client is a large-scale, family-oriented private fuel distributor operating at a significant national scale. With a 20-year distribution license with a global fuel brand, they are a highly regulated, ASIC-lodged organization that prides itself on quick decision-making and a supportive work environment. They are currently undergoing a strategic restructure to transition from a partner-led operation to a process-driven enterprise.

About the Role

Due to a planned business transition, this high-level opportunity has become available, reporting to the Group Director. As the most senior staff member in the business, you will lead the operational and logistics function, transforming it into a high-efficiency, data-driven division. Based in Tomago, you will oversee a fleet of 25 truck-and-trailer combinations across four depots.

• Lead the logistics team to deliver results, driving continuous improvements in Safety, Service, and Productivity.
• Drive ERP integration, specifically leading the transition of logistics functions into the Octane system to improve automation and visibility.
• Execute fleet optimization programs to improve fuel efficiency and reduce operational overheads.
• Manage operational performance, coaching and mentoring the warehouse and logistics teams through a period of change.
• Actively ensure a safe working environment, maintaining stringent Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and HSSE compliance standards.

The Successful Applicant will demonstrate the following skills and attributes:

• Extensive experience in a senior logistics or operations role, specifically managing heavy vehicles and distributed depots.
• Exposure to Fuel or Dangerous Goods is highly regarded.
• Proven ability to lead systems change, including implementing or optimizing logistics modules within an ERP system.
• Experience with performance management and the ability to manage "old-school" workforces through strategic shifts.
• Resolution and results-focused mindset with the ability to operate autonomously as a "self-starter".
• Strong computer skills; experience with Sage 300 or similar enterprise software is critical.

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
