V/Line's purpose is to connect Victorians through safe, reliable, and accessible transport. We believe in giving all Victorians opportunities through travel and transport - connecting them to jobs, education, family and friends, services, tourism and trade.

V/Line is experiencing significant growth and we're delivering more services, more trains, cheaper fares, and huge projects. With more than 3700 weekly train and coach services, an expansive freight network and unprecedented rail investment, millions of Victorians depend on us to deliver. You could be one of our 3100 committed team members who are up to the challenge.

Our ideal candidate will possess the following:

• Experience in logistics, transport coordination, purchasing, maintenance operations or a similar operational environment.
• Experience planning, coordinating or purchasing goods and services to support operational outcomes.
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills, with the ability to analyse and manage operational data.
• Experience using JD Edwards or similar ERP systems.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively with stakeholders, suppliers and service providers.
• A proactive approach to continuous improvement and identifying opportunities to enhance processes and ways of working.
• The ability to adapt to changing priorities and manage competing demands in a dynamic environment.
