Job description

An Australian industrial manufacturing company with international reach is seeking a Transport Manager to lead, optimise and improve its transport operations across Queensland. With responsibility for multiple sites, a mixed workforce and a complex network with plenty of opportunity for uplift, this role suits someone who thrives in solving operational problems and building structure where it is needed most.

About the Role

This is a critical leadership role overseeing transport operations across Queensland. You will manage a team of supervisors, schedulers and drivers, and play a pivotal role in improving efficiency, visibility and consistency across a high‑volume, fast‑moving environment. You will also be part of the state leadership team, working closely with operations, commercial teams and site leaders to optimise product movements, improve truck utilisation, and modernise processes and systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead daily transport operations across multiple Queensland sites, ensuring safe, efficient and cost‑effective movement.
  • Manage and support a team of supervisors, allocators/schedulers and drivers.
  • Move the function from basic allocation to true scheduling and optimisation.
  • Analyse operational constraints such as delays, forklift availability, site layouts and drive continuous improvement in partnership with site teams.
  • Use data from multiple systems and Excel to understand trends and build simple reporting.
  • Identify causes of demurrage, long wait times and driver delays, and implement solutions to reduce cost and improve flow.
  • Support major investment decisions by identifying on‑site bottlenecks and required improvements.
  • Contribute to broader state leadership discussions and influence transport strategy and planning.

This role is based in Hemmant with travel to other sites across Queensland.

About You

We’re looking for an improvement‑focused transport leader who is analytical, hands‑on and capable of bringing structure to a complex and evolving environment. You will be practical, patient, and confident leading through change.

You will have:

  • Experience in transport, logistics or fleet management.
  • Ability to lead and develop teams across multi‑site operations.
  • Strong analytical capability: comfortable working in Excel, reviewing data and identifying opportunities.
  • Demonstrated success improving efficiency, solving operational bottlenecks and lifting performance.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence across drivers, supervisors, site leaders and senior stakeholders.
  • A continuous improvement mindset and willingness to understand what’s really happening on the ground.

Why Join?

This role offers the chance to make a significant impact in a business undergoing real operational transformation. In the first six months you will focus on building visibility, stabilising processes and improving day‑to‑day scheduling. Over time, you will help reshape how transport is managed across Queensland, influence major site improvements and contribute to long‑term fleet and operational strategy.
