Job description

NSW Transport Supervisor - Fuel Distribution

NSW Transport Supervisor - Fuel Distribution

South Sydney

Our client is a leading transport and logistics provider delivering fuel distribution services on behalf of one of Australia's major fuel brands. They're looking for a hands-on Fuels Supervisor to lead a large driver network across a 24/6/365 operation.

About the Role

Sitting alongside the scheduling and operations team, you'll take day-to-day responsibility for a rotating pool of around 30 on-road drivers (within an 80-driver network), covering rostered day and night shifts across the week. You'll be the key link between the driver cohort, the 24-hour support team, and the client's scheduling function — keeping trucks on the road, shifts covered, and service levels on track.

This is a fast-paced, people-first supervisory role. You'll be managing rosters, troubleshooting on-the-day issues, and building trust and consistency with a driver group who expect a supervisor who's fair, present, and easy to deal with.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supervising and rostering a large pool of company-employed drivers across rotating day/night shifts
• Acting as the frontline point of contact for driver queries, roster changes, and on-the-day operational issues
• Working closely with the 24-hour support team and client scheduling team to keep the network running smoothly
• Managing performance and IR-style conversations with professionalism and consistency
• Supporting peak-period planning (school holidays, Easter, long weekends) when demand on the flexible fleet pool increases
• Building strong, credible relationships with a long-serving, well-paid driver cohort

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience supervising a large fleet of company drivers (not owner-drivers/contractors) in a 24/7 rostered environment
• Confidence navigating IR conversations and holding the line with an experienced, unionised workforce
• A steady, fair, and consistent leadership style — this driver group responds to supervisors who show up and follow through
• Based within a reasonable commute of South Sydney
• Fuel or dangerous goods experience is a bonus but not essential — full training provided

What's on Offer

• A genuinely varied, high-impact operational role with real autonomy
• The chance to make your mark leading a critical, high-visibility contract
