Job description

Join the transport leadership team that keeps Australia moving.

Working for one of Australia and New Zealand’s most sophisticated logistics providers, you’ll take ownership of complex, large-scale operations.

That means leading teams, managing performance and delivering outcomes in a fast-paced environment where safety, service and efficiency are critical to success.

And with our dedicated focus on smarter, more efficient and more connected operations, you’ll help shape the future of transport across our business.

At Linfox, anything’s possible when you’re trusted to lead.

What does the job look like?

We’re looking for a hands-on Transport Supervisor to support the day-to-day performance of our linehaul operation in Hazelmere.

• Lead drivers and schedulers across day-to-day transport operations
• Monitor safety, fatigue, pre-start and MT Data compliance
• Support scheduling to optimise the linehaul network and maximise asset utilisation
• Conduct yard walks, driver spot checks and operational compliance checks
• Investigate safety, operational and compliance issues and recommend corrective actions
• Drive strong stakeholder communication and continuous improvement across the operation

Are you the one?

You’ll bring solid transport experience and be comfortable leading from the front in a busy linehaul environment. You’ll know how to balance safety, compliance and operational priorities while building strong relationships with drivers and the wider team. You can demonstrate:

• Experience in transport scheduling, linehaul or similar transport operations
• Experience supervising drivers and operational teams
• Strong knowledge of Chain of Responsibility, fatigue management and load restraint
• Knowledge of heavy vehicle regulations, mass and dimension requirements and oversize movements
• Ability to remain calm under pressure, make sound decisions and provide practical advice to drivers
• Experience with MT Data and/or SAP TM9 will be highly regarded

What's in it for me?

• 12 weeks paid parental leave and return to work bonus for eligible employees
• Career development opportunities and mentoring programs
• Access to a range of benefits across dining and adventure, travel and health and well-being
• The chance to work in a high-performing team where your contributions truly make an impact
