The Asia-Pacific region currently includes Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Singapore employing nearly 3000 team members.

Position Details

At Lineage, we're transforming the global food supply chain. As the world's largest temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, we play a critical role in helping food producers, manufacturers and retailers move products safely and efficiently from origin to destination.

We're seeking an experienced Project Manager with a strong logistics, warehousing or supply chain background to lead strategic projects across our Australian network.

This is not an IT Project Manager role.

Why this role matters

Our facilities are at the heart of our customers' supply chains.

As Project Manager, you'll partner with operational leaders, senior stakeholders and customers to identify opportunities, assess project viability and deliver initiatives that improve how our cold storage assets operate and perform.

From warehouse optimisation and process improvement projects through to network capability enhancements and customer growth initiatives, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of our operations.

What you'll be doing

• Lead multiple strategic projects across our warehousing and logistics network

• Identify and assess opportunities to improve asset performance, operational efficiency and customer outcomes

• Develop business cases, project plans, timelines, governance frameworks and project reporting

• Partner with Site Managers and operational leaders to understand operational challenges and improvement opportunities

• Conduct project feasibility and viability assessments, considering operational, commercial and supply chain impacts

• Manage project risks, budgets, milestones and stakeholder expectations

• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration between operations, engineering, commercial and support teams

• Provide regular project updates to senior leadership

• Deliver projects safely, on time, within budget and aligned to business objectives

What we're looking for

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

• Proven experience managing projects within warehousing, logistics, supply chain, transport, cold storage, manufacturing or industrial operations
• Strong understanding of warehouse operations, logistics processes and supply chain workflows
• Experience evaluating operational improvement opportunities and developing business cases
• Ability to influence and engage stakeholders across multiple business functions
• Strong commercial and financial acumen
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects
• Excellent communication and relationship management skills
• A practical, solutions-focused approach with the ability to translate operational needs into deliverable projects

Highly regarded

• Experience within cold storage, 3PL, transport or distribution environments
• Capital works, infrastructure or operational improvement project experience
• Formal Project Management qualifications

The Opportunity

At Lineage, we're on a mission to transform the food supply chain and eliminate waste while helping feed the world.

You'll join a collaborative team where your expertise will directly influence operational performance, customer growth and strategic decision-making across our Australian business.

What we offer

• Competitive salary package

• Annual incentive opportunity

• Career development within a global industry leader

• Employee Assistance Program

• Paid volunteer leave

• Employee benefits and retail discounts

• A values-driven culture focused on Safety, Trust, Respect, Innovation and Growth

Why Lineage?

Lineage is more than just a cold storage logistics business. We’re focused on being a vibrant, innovative and progressive employer where all our teams work safely, harmoniously and efficiently toward a common purpose - transforming the food supply chain to eliminate waste and help feed the world.

Lineage is dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic work environment and encourages applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
