Descripción del empleo

Help keep Australia moving with a team that genuinely values its people.

Some people see transport as trucks moving freight from A to B. We see it differently.

Behind every successful delivery is a team of people solving problems, building relationships, and making sure customers can rely on us when it matters most. That's where you come in.

We're looking for an experienced Operations Coordinator to join our Brisbane team and become a key part of a growing national transport business. If you're someone who enjoys variety in your day, thrives on finding solutions, and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly, we'd love to hear from you.

A little about us

We're an Australian-owned transport company with a strong reputation for delivering specialised freight solutions across the country. Our expertise lies in moving loads that require a little more planning, coordination and know-how than standard freight.

What sets us apart isn't just what we move, but how we do it. We've built a business where people are trusted to make decisions, contribute ideas, and develop their careers within a supportive team environment.

The opportunity

This isn't a role where you'll simply follow a process.

You'll be central to our operation, working closely with drivers, contractors, customers and internal stakeholders to coordinate freight movements, solve daily challenges and ensure every job is delivered safely and efficiently.

No two days are quite the same, which is exactly why our team enjoys what they do.

What you'll be responsible for

• Coordinating daily transport activities and ensuring freight is delivered on time and to a high standard
• Planning schedules and allocating work to maximise fleet and contractor performance
• Developing and maintaining relationships with subcontractors and transport partners
• Preparing accurate freight quotations and responding promptly to customer enquiries
• Supporting compliance requirements across vehicles, contractors and operational activities
• Monitoring maintenance and servicing requirements to keep equipment operating efficiently
• Providing outstanding support to customers, drivers and suppliers
• Managing operational administration and documentation
• Identifying opportunities to improve systems, workflows and service delivery
• Maintaining a strong focus on safety, compliance and operational excellence

What you'll bring

We're looking for someone who combines transport industry knowledge with a practical, can-do attitude.

Ideally you'll have:

• At least three years' experience in a transport or logistics operational focussed role.
• Experience working with subcontractors, including engagement and payment processes
• Strong customer service and relationship-management skills
• Experience preparing transport quotations and managing customer requests
• Sound knowledge of transport compliance and regulatory requirements
• Experience coordinating open trailer or specialised freight movements
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
• The ability to remain calm, adaptable and solutions-focused when priorities change
• A forklift licence will be viewed favourably

Why people enjoy working with us

• We're big enough to offer stability, opportunity and a national footprint, but small enough that your contribution is noticed and valued.
• A supportive team environment where people help each other succeed
• Genuine opportunities to grow your career and take on greater responsibility
• A business that welcomes initiative and fresh ideas
• Exposure to diverse and specialised freight projects
• A role where you'll have real influence on operational outcomes
• Long-term job security with a respected Australian transport company

Interested?

If you're looking for a role where your experience is valued, your ideas are heard, and your contribution genuinely makes a difference each day, we'd love to hear from you.

Join a team that believes transport is about more than moving freight - it's about delivering on promises, building relationships, and creating solutions.
