Established over 30 years ago, the Company is a successful manufacturer of high-quality polyethylene products to the Agriculture, Mining, Civil / Construction and wider industry sectors. With headquarters, and multiple regional offices, in WA as well as offices in NSW and Philippines, we have experienced exponential success since inception, with both organic and acquisitive growth, building a strong reputation for product quality and customer service. We are now embarking on an exciting new phase in the company’s history, with the establishment of a Logistics Hub in Malaga. This significant investment is being made to support our future growth plans, with a need for improved systems, processes and people we feel are necessary to take our warehouse and inventory operations to the next level. This role is central to that effort.

You will be joining at a significant moment, as we are implementing a 12-month improvement program to transform the way our warehouse and inventory functions work, moving to real-time,system-based inventory control, and you will own that transition on the warehouse floor.
