- Keeping the yard safe, organised and presentable, with clear identification of stock and customer units
- Managing materials and consumables, and keeping accurate job, stock and inspection records
- Coordinating contractor inductions and checking their work against scope
- Driving WHS standards through routine checks, hazard reporting and equipment maintenance
- Working with Sales, Operations and Logistics, and recommending ways to improve depot workflow
About you
- Experience as a production, yard or workshop supervisor, leading hand or similar in manufacturing, fabrication, construction, transport or an industrial setting
- A proven ability to coordinate people, trades or contractors and deliver to deadlines
- A current forklift licence and practical experience operating around trucks and heavy equipment

- High standards for quality and presentation, and the ability to hold people accountable respectfully
- Clear communication and basic computer skills for record-keeping and job management systems
- A willingness to get stuck in on the floor
