We're looking for a hands‑on leader who can build capability within the team, strengthen processes, drive continuous improvement, and create a culture of accountability and operational excellence. You'll balance day‑to‑day warehouse responsibilities with people leadership, problem‑solving, and process optimization while supporting an industry that plays an important role in Australian agriculture.

If you're an experienced warehouse leader who takes pride in creating efficient operations, developing strong teams, and delivering consistent results, we'd love to hear from you.

• Supervise and coordinate warehouse team activities.
• Plan workloads and ensure operational priorities are completed safely and efficiently.
• Support picking, packing, dispatch, customer pickups, and freight activities.
• Maintain inventory accuracy through stock control, cycle counts, and physical inventory counts.
• Coordinate couriers, freight providers, imports, and incoming shipments.
• Ensure accurate documentation, traceability, and recordkeeping.
• Drive safety, accountability, and continuous improvement across the operation.

Qualifications

• Previous leadership experience in a warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, distribution, or supply chain environment.
• Strong experience managing warehouse operations, inventory control, and dispatch activities.
• Proven ability to lead teams and achieve operational results through others.
• Experience improving processes, driving efficiency, and maintaining high operational standards.
• Ability to manage competing priorities while making sound decisions under pressure.
• Experience using warehouse, inventory, or business management systems.
• A hands‑on leadership style with a willingness to work alongside your team when needed.
• Strong communication, problem‑solving, and relationship‑building skills.
