A well-established Sydney business in the construction industry is looking for a Logistics Manager to take ownership of its warehouse, delivery scheduling and client communication.

About the Role:

Reporting to the Managing Director, you'll work alongside the Operations Manager and Project Manager as part of a small management team. The business delivers project-based work across Sydney, so no two weeks look the same. Schedules move regularly and you'll be the person who keeps materials, trucks and clients on track.

• Work with the Project Manager in the weekly planning meeting to lock in deliveries and truck schedules
• Schedule deliveries ahead of jobs and combine with site pick-ups for efficient routes
• Keep clients updated on start dates, deliveries and changes
• Process picking lists, check stock and coordinate orders
• Manage returns from completed jobs and reconcile against materials used
• Lead a team of 6 across warehouse and transport
• Get hands-on in the warehouse when needed

This role is based on-site at Kings Park.

About You:

You'll come from a logistics, transport or warehouse background where you've planned deliveries, managed drivers and kept stock moving. You're just as comfortable on the phone with clients, keeping them updated and managing expectations when plans change.

You will have:

• Experience scheduling deliveries, planning routes and coordinating drivers
• Warehouse experience, including stock control, picking and returns
• Strong client communication, including delivering bad news early and clearly
• The ability to re-plan quickly when schedules change
• Team leadership experience is a bonus but not essential
• Confidence in Excel
