Company
For 81 years, we've achieved success through our ability to innovate, placing a clear emphasis on how we best serve our customers’ needs. As demand continues to grow, we have expanded rapidly, now delivering a superior range of dry goods, frozen and chilled products, fresh seafood and meat, confectionery, paper products, and cleaning solutions.
In recent years, we’ve seen significant growth and invested in our systems and processes, building a close partnership with Woolworths Group that has continued to deliver high-quality service for our customers and suppliers.
In 2024, Woolworths moved to a 100% interest in the PFD business, bringing PFD exciting opportunities as a strategic part of the Group. Sharing expertise across both teams will ensure our continued success and drive further growth and unlock our collective potential.
About this Position
At PFD, we bring people together through food.
We're seeking an experienced Branch Manager to lead our Kalgoorlie operation, overseeing sales, warehouse, transport, administration and customer service functions while driving branch performance, profitability and team engagement.
This is a leadership role for someone who enjoys being close to the operation, building strong customer relationships and leading from the front. You'll have the autonomy to shape branch success, supported by an experienced team and the backing of a national business.
Why Kalgoorlie?
Kalgoorlie isn't for everyone and that's exactly what makes it special.
This is the type of role where you'll know your team, know your customers and see the direct impact of your leadership every day. You'll have the opportunity to lead a close-knit operation, become part of the local community and enjoy a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find in larger cities.
With housing assistance, a company vehicle and incentive opportunities on offer, this role presents an exciting opportunity for a leader looking to make a genuine impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the day-to-day operations of the branch across sales, warehouse, transport and administration functions.
- Deliver branch sales, EBIT and profitability targets.
- Drive customer growth, retention and service excellence.
- Manage branch costs, inventory levels and operational performance.
- Lead, coach and develop a high-performing team culture.
- Build strong relationships with customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
- Maintain high standards across WHS, HACCP, food safety and compliance.
- Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, productivity and branch performance.
What We’re Looking For
To thrive in this role, you will bring:
- Proven leadership experience within logistics, warehousing, FMCG, wholesale distribution or a similar operational environment.
- Strong commercial acumen with experience managing budgets, costs and business performance.
- A visible leadership style and a genuine passion for developing and supporting teams.
- Strong organisational, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
- The ability to balance customer service, operational excellence and commercial outcomes.
- A resilient, solutions-focused approach and the ability to perform in a fast-paced environment.
Bonus points for:
- FMCG or food distribution experience.
- Knowledge of WHS, COR and HACCP requirements.
- Forklift or heavy vehicle licences (training and licensing provided)
