- Champions a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance with all legislative and company standards.
- Works safely at all times, maintaining PaT compliance at 95% or higher.
- Reports hazards, incidents, near misses, and injuries promptly, ensuring timely follow-up and resolution.

What are we looking for?
- A solid foundation to build on: Maybe you’ve got a Certificate or diploma in Warehousing & Distribution or Transport & Logistics. If so, that’s fantastic, it tells us you’ve invested in learning the ropes and are ready to put that knowledge into practice.
- A leader with experience: You’ve already spent at least two years as a Warehouse team leader, so you know what it takes to motivate a team, keep operations running smoothly, and step up when challenges appear.
- Ready to roll: If you already hold a reach truck or stock picker licence, you can jump straight into action. We love people who come prepared and can make an immediate impact.
- Safety at heart: With DG (Dangerous Goods) certification, you’ll bring extra confidence and responsibility to the team, because you know that safety and compliance aren’t just boxes to tick, but the backbone of smooth operations.
- A communicator who connects: Strong English, both spoken and written, is key. Whether you’re briefing your team, updating a manager, or calming a stressed client, you’ll have the words to keep things clear and constructive.
- Customer-focused by nature: Perhaps you’ve worked in a more Customer focused role before and know how powerful it is to put people first. That mindset will shine through in the way you handle challenges and build trust.
- Tech-friendly: We’re not asking you to be an IT wizard, but solid skills in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will help you stay organized, keep track of the details, and share insights with others.
