• Provide comprehensive shift handovers to the day operations team, highlighting any issues, delays, or maintenance priorities.
• Liaise with transport and logistics teams to confirm vehicle movements and ensure compliance with regulations and safety standards.
• Ensure all operational processes adhere to Flannery’s health and safety and quality management systems.
• Assist with resource planning, ensuring appropriate staffing and equipment availability for upcoming projects.
• Support the implementation of continuous improvement initiatives to streamline depot operations and communication.

Skills & Experience

• Previous experience in an operations, transport, or plant hire coordination role (night shift experience advantageous).
• Strong understanding of fleet and equipment scheduling within a construction or hire environment.
• Excellent administrative and organisational skills with strong attention to detail.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and hire management software, ideally Syrinx.
• Confident communicator with the ability to liaise effectively between departments and shifts.
