Fleet Allocator

$37.50 per hour + super | Tuesday – Saturday | Full-time | Laverton North

Are you an experienced Fleet Allocator, Transport Coordinator or Logistics professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment?

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys planning, problem-solving and working closely with drivers and customers to keep daily transport operations running smoothly.

About the Role

As the Fleet Allocator, you'll be at the heart of the daily operation, ensuring the right drivers, vehicles and routes are allocated to get deliveries where they need to be — efficiently and on time.

• Planning and allocating daily local delivery runs
• Developing efficient routes to maximise fleet utilisation and minimise unnecessary travel
• Allocating drivers and vehicles based on delivery requirements
• Preparing and managing driver run sheets
• Coordinating with drivers throughout the day and keeping them informed of any changes
• Liaising directly with customers and managing delivery requirements and enquiries
• Monitoring deliveries and proactively resolving issues as they arise
• Ensuring driver, vehicle and transport compliance requirements are maintained
• Maintaining accurate transport, delivery and operational records
• Working closely with drivers to ensure runs are completed safely and efficiently
• Managing changing priorities in a time-sensitive transport environment
• Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, service and fleet utilisation

What you'll bring

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, communicates confidently and genuinely enjoys making logistics work.

You'll bring:

• Previous experience in fleet allocation, transport coordination, logistics, dispatch or a similar role
• Strong attention to detail — you'll be juggling multiple drivers, deliveries and timeframes
• Excellent planning and organisational skills
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to deal with drivers and customers
• A customer-focused approach
• The ability to think quickly and problem-solve when plans change
• An understanding of driver, vehicle and transport compliance
• The ability to work independently while being part of a close-knit team
• Good computer and administration skills
• A calm and solutions-focused approach, particularly when things get busy

Experience in fresh produce, refrigerated transport or local delivery operations will be highly regarded.

Why Join?

This isn't just another desk-based logistics role.

You'll be joining a family-owned business with a genuine connection to the transport industry, where your experience and ability to keep operations running efficiently will make a real difference.

You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of the daily allocation process, work directly with drivers and customers, and become an important part of a business that takes pride in delivering fresh produce reliably from Tasmania to Melbourne.
