About You:

• 5+ years' experience in warehouse or logistics operations, including managing a multi‑shift site.
• Proven 3PL or multi‑client experience, with a track record of meeting SLAs and KPIs.
• A confident, hands‑on leader who builds accountable, engaged teams.
• Strong knowledge of WHS/OHS requirements and safe work practices.
• Commercially minded, comfortable managing budgets and working with productivity data.
• Proactive and committed to continuous improvement.
• A forklift licence and a qualification in supply chain or logistics are preferred, but not a requirement.
