The opportunity

Our client is a well-established Australian distribution business in an exciting period of change. They’re looking for a hands-on Warehouse Manager to lead a multi-shift site in Brisbane and take real ownership of how it runs.

This is a genuine opportunity to shape a site: lift standards, build capability in your team and leave the operation in a stronger position than you found it. You’ll have the backing of senior leadership, a clear mandate for change and plenty of room to make the role your own.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading all day-to-day warehouse operations across receiving, storage, picking and dispatch
• Building a high-performing, accountable team culture with clear expectations around safety, productivity and housekeeping
• Coaching and developing supervisors and team leaders to lift leadership capability on the floor
• Owning WHS compliance and driving a strong safety culture
• Planning labour, managing budgets and monitoring KPIs including pick accuracy, service levels and costs
• Partnering with sales, supply chain and other business leaders to deliver outstanding customer service
• Driving practical continuous improvement initiatives and supporting stocktakes, audits and system and process change

About you

• Proven experience managing a warehouse or distribution operation across multiple shifts
• A strong people leader who can build culture, set clear standards and bring people along
• Background in a small to mid-sized business where you’ve been resourceful and built process yourself, without large specialist support teams
• A solid understanding of WHS requirements and a genuine safety focus
• Customer-service mindset and strong relationship-building skills
• A pragmatic, roll-your-sleeves-up approach, with a “seek to understand” style when leading change
• Experience in wide-range distribution, trade, wholesale or similar high-service environments is highly regarded, but we’re open on industry for the right leader

Why apply

• A real mandate to lead change and make your mark on a site
• Supportive senior leadership and a structured buddy and check-in approach
• Exposure to business and systems improvement initiatives
• Stable, well-backed business with long-term investment behind it
• Day-based management hours with presence across shifts
