• Proven experience leading teams in a fast-paced production or automotive environment.

Responsibilities

• Scheduling & movement flow: Act as the operational lead for Logistics—owning the calendar, rostering, and allocation for internal and external fleets across Sydney metro to maximize truck efficiency and hit throughput targets.
• Root cause resolution: Monitor daily operations to spot disruptions early and investigate the underlying operational breaks rather than treating surface-level symptoms.
• Process & continuous improvement: Interpret movement data and operational reports to refine work methods, eliminate waste, and elevate turnaround performance in line with Carma’s guidelines.
• Fleet, safety & compliance: Maintain high standards across the fleet by enforcing pre-start checks, scheduled maintenance, WHS guidelines, and Chain of Responsibility (CoR) practices.
• High-performance leadership: Lead, roster, and grow the onsite and driver team—managing day-to-day admin, building capability through feedback, and setting clear expectations for peak performance.
• Cross-departmental alignment: Manage dynamic vehicle demand across Buying, Sales, Wholesale, and Operations, hosting regular standups and team meetings to stay aligned on shifting needs.
