We are Kestrel - one of the world’s largest producing underground coking coal mines, delivering around 7 million tonnes of high-quality metallurgical coal annually to global steelmakers.

We believe that great ideas come from anyone, and we empower our team members to bring their insights forward - knowing they’ll be heard, valued and that the path from idea to implementation is refreshingly short.

We strive to create an environment where everyone feels respected and supported. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just starting your career, at Kestrel, you’ll find opportunities to grow, contribute, and have meaningful impact.

In this role, you will support Kestrel by:

• Ensuring critical materials, consumables and spare parts are available to support operational and maintenance requirements.
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives to optimise warehouse processes, inventory management and service delivery.
• Maintaining strong working relationships with internal stakeholders, suppliers and contractors to ensure timely and effective supply chain outcomes.
• Monitoring warehouse performance, identifying risks and implementing corrective actions to improve efficiency, compliance and customer service.
• Ensuring compliance with company policies, legislative requirements and relevant standards relating to warehouse operations, dangerous goods and inventory management.
• Supporting procurement, logistics and freight activities as required to ensure the efficient movement of goods to and from site.
