Location: Brisbane, QLD
We’re looking for an Operations Lead who doesn't just "manage"—you own it. This role is for a ground-floor operator who will stabilize daily depot and fleet performance and drive practical fixes that actually stick.
If you prefer spreadsheets over strategy decks and get a kick out of solving live problems, this is your fit. You’ll be empowered to make high-stakes decisions, fix what’s broken, and take accountability for the bottom line.
What you’ll actually do:
- Take full ownership of depot workflows and fleet utilization.
- Find waste and cut costs without breaking service levels.
- Optimize scheduling and delivery routes for maximum efficiency.
- Scrutinize contracts and pricing to boost profitability.
- Tighten up operational rigour so the team performs better.
- Partner with the owner to protect cash flow and stabilize key customer relationships.
Who you are:
- 5–10+ years deep in Transport, Logistics, or Warehousing.
- A proven depot/fleet manager who has fixed real-world problems (not just reported on them).
- Commercially sharp—you understand how operations affect revenue.
- Decisive and comfortable making calls in a fast-moving yard or depot.
- Able to walk in and build trust with the crews on the ground quickly.
- Bonus: You’ve turned around a struggling operation before.
How to stand out:
When you apply, give us a quick, real-world example of an operation you improved—specifically, what you did in your first 60 days to create change.
The reward:
- Competitive base salary + incentives tied to cash flow, cost savings, and operational gains.
- A high-impact role where you can see your fingerprints on the business in 90 days.
- Direct access to ownership—no bureaucracy, just results.
