  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance planning processes, efficiency and customer outcomes

Are you the one?

  • Hands-on experience using transport management and planning systems to coordinate freight movements and maximise network performance
  • The capability to balance multiple priorities while maintaining a strong focus on safety, service and operational outcomes

What's in it for me?

  • 12 weeks paid parental leave and return to work bonus for eligible employees

  • Access to a range of benefits across dining and adventure, travel and health and well-being
  • The chance to work in a high-performing team where your contributions truly make an impact
