Job description

The Opportunity

We're seeking a full-time Warehouse Supervisor to lead our operations team in Tasmania. Reporting to the Warehouse Manager – Tasmania, you'll supervise and coordinate day-to-day despatch, receivals, storage, quality and logistics — leading by example on the floor to keep the team productive, accurate and safe, and stepping up to run operations in the Warehouse Manager's absence. It's a hands-on leadership role, so it suits someone who enjoys working alongside their team, coaching others and keeping customers' orders moving.

What We're Looking For

You'll bring strong warehousing and logistics skills, a solid knowledge of warehouse procedures and systems, and the confidence to prioritise and lead a team in a fast-moving environment. Supervisory experience in a warehouse, distribution or logistics setting will help you hit the ground running, along with intermediate OH&S and people-supervision skills, strong IT skills and a professional approach to customer service. Knowledge of stainless steel products and of racking and storage systems will be well regarded, and flexibility with working hours is important. A current Forklift Licence (LF) is essential; LO (Order Picker) and Overhead Gantry licences are highly regarded. The right attitude and willingness to learn matter just as much to us as a perfect CV.

We won't compromise on accuracy, safety, or accountability. We're after a supervisor who takes ownership of the outcome — allocating tasks, checking the work is done right and following up when it isn't — rather than someone who simply passes instructions on. You'll work closely with our Tasmania Warehouse, Customer Service, Sales, Quality and Logistics teams, so clear communication and a collaborative approach are essential.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Supervise and coordinate the Tasmania operations team, allocating daily tasks and supporting rostering
• Lead by example on the floor, coaching, mentoring and training team members
• Induct new team members and keep safe work procedure (SWP) and verification of competency (VOC) training up to date
• Monitor performance, attendance and productivity, and report HR and OH&S matters to the Warehouse Manager
• Lead Operations in the Warehouse Manager's absence and support Chain of Responsibility compliance
• Pick, pack and load customer orders in line with procedure and packaging specifications
• Greet and assist customers and couriers, providing direction on safe vehicle loading
• Prepare despatch documentation, follow up outstanding orders and investigate order inaccuracies

Receivals, Storage & Stock Integrity

• Check, sign off and put away inbound goods accurately, including container inspections, Indent orders and credit returns
• Keep storage areas and bin locations organised, safe and space-efficient
• Inspect racking and stillages for damage and report with suggested corrective action
• Participate in stocktakes and help resolve stock discrepancies

Logistics & Document Control

• Support freight scheduling and consignment, including the Stirlings truck service route
• Ensure despatch documentation is accurate and delivered on time
• Liaise with Logistics, Sales and Processing on freight and order issues

Quality, Safety & Site Support

• Support Quality Assurance activities, including QA Hold products, product defects and quality claims
• Promote and enforce OH&S standards, safe work practices and daily housekeeping
• Support works order scheduling, the Offcut register and stock allocation
• Contribute to improvements in processes, procedures and the Digital Warehousing roll-out
• Take part in site opening and closing procedures.

Responsibilities are not limited to those listed above.
