Lead the warehouse. Drive the operation.

Holloway Removals & Storage is looking for a hands-on, organised and confident Warehouse Manager to take ownership of our Wolli Creek warehouse and lead the day-to-day operation.

We’re looking for someone who can lead from the front — someone who knows how to delegate, set clear priorities and keep the team accountable, while also being prepared to get on the floor and work alongside the team when needed. You’ll be responsible for keeping the warehouse organised, productive and running smoothly, while ensuring the team works safely and to a consistently high standard.

You’ll need to be practical, proactive and a natural problem-solver, with the confidence to make decisions, manage competing priorities and keep things moving in a fast-paced environment.

If you enjoy leading a team, being hands-on and taking ownership of an operation, we want to hear from you.

• Ensure warehouse activities comply with WHS requirements
• Maintain appropriate safety and compliance records
• Promote safe work practices across the warehouse
