Join Our Team!

Forty Winks Jindalee & Oxley are looking for a reliable, motivated and hands-on Warehouse Team Leader to join our Wacol warehouse team.

We're a well-established, family-owned business operating two Forty Winks retail stores in Brisbane's western suburbs.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys working with people and knows how to keep a busy warehouse running smoothly.

This isn't a desk job! We're after someone who's happy to roll up their sleeves, lead by example and work alongside the team to get things done.

About the Role

As our Warehouse Team Leader, you'll play an important role in coordinating the daily operations of our Wacol warehouse, ensuring stock movements, customer deliveries and store replenishments are managed safely, efficiently and accurately.

You’ll work closely with our Operations Manager and retail teams to help maintain an organised, productive warehouse and deliver great customer service.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating daily warehouse activities, including receiving, storage, picking and dispatch.

• Organising incoming supplier stock and outgoing customer deliveries.

• Assisting with planning and coordinating delivery schedules and runs.

• Leading, supporting and working alongside our warehouse and delivery team.

• Maintaining accurate stock records and assisting with regular stocktakes.

• Ensuring customer orders are checked, prepared and ready for delivery.

• Maintaining high standards of warehouse organisation, housekeeping and workplace safety.

• Communicating effectively with our Jindalee and Oxley retail teams.

• Identifying opportunities to improve warehouse efficiency and daily processes.

• Assisting with loading, unloading, manual handling and general warehouse duties.

• Stepping in to assist with customer deliveries when required, provided you hold the appropriate licence.

About You

We're looking for someone who's dependable, well organized and comfortable taking responsibility.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Previous experience in warehousing, logistics or distribution.

• Experience leading, supervising or coordinating a small team, or the confidence to step into a team leadership role.

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

• Good communication and problem-solving abilities.

• The ability to manage competing priorities in a busy environment.

• A practical, proactive and hands-on approach.

• A positive attitude and strong work ethic.

• An understanding of workplace safety and safe manual handling practices.

• The ability to work independently, take initiative and follow through on responsibilities.

Highly regarded, but not essential:

• MR truck licence, allowing you to assist with customer deliveries when required.

• Order Picker licence.

• Experience with inventory management or retail warehouse systems.

• Experience handling furniture, mattresses or other bulky goods.

What We Offer

• Full-time employment with an established national retail brand.

• A supportive, family-owned business environment.

• A friendly team that values reliability, teamwork and initiative.

• A varied, hands-on role with genuine responsibility.

• The opportunity to develop your leadership skills and make a positive contribution.

• Competitive remuneration based on experience and qualifications.

Why Join Us?

At Forty Winks Jindalee & Oxley, we're proud of the business we've built and the people who make it work.

We value people who are reliable, take initiative, support their teammates and genuinely care about getting the job done properly.

We're not looking for someone who simply delegates tasks. We're looking for someone who leads by example, works alongside their teammates and helps create a positive, productive working environment.

If you're an experienced warehouse professional looking to take the next step in your career, or an existing team leader looking for a great place to work, this could be the opportunity for you.
