• Allocate daily workloads and monitor team productivity
• Identify operational bottlenecks and implement practical improvements
• Maintain an organised, efficient and safe workplace
• Take ownership of operational issues through to resolution
• Provide management with clear visibility of operational performance

Experience within a wholesale, distribution, manufacturing, trade or warehousing environment will be highly regarded.

What We Offer

• Permanent part-time position

• Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 3:00pm

• Genuine responsibility and autonomy

• A stable, hands-on management position

• Opportunity to improve systems and operational processes

• Supportive small-business environment

• Opportunity to grow with an expanding business

If you are a hands-on operations professional who enjoys leading people, improving processes and taking ownership of results, we would like to hear from you.
