Operations Supervisor

Take real operational control. Lead a shift, not just cover one, with a growing North Queensland transport business investing in stronger systems for FY27.

About the Role

• Own end-to-end control of your rostered shift (4:00am–1:00pm or 11:00am–8:00pm), with a structured two-hour handover
• One of two Supervisors also covers rostered Saturday morning operations, shared based on business need
• Convert the approved schedule into safe, compliant and commercially controlled job execution
• Direct and coach driver performance, monitor job progress, and resolve operational exceptions as they happen
• Own daily compliance — fatigue, mass, load restraint, pre-starts and NHVR/Chain of Responsibility
• Be the key link between drivers, scheduling, fleet and customers

Essential Requirements

• Substantial operational experience in transport, heavy haulage, road train, crane truck or logistics
• Demonstrated experience supervising drivers and controlling multiple jobs in a time-critical environment
• Strong scheduling and dispatch background, with solid NHVR compliance knowledge (fatigue, COR, WHS)
• Current HC & LF/Forklift licence
• Clear, confident communicator — comfortable being the hub between drivers, customers and management
• Available for the rostered shift, including shared rostered Saturday morning coverage
• Australian working rights

Desirable

• MC, CV, Doggers licence
• White Card
• Formal transport, logistics, heavy vehicle or supervisory qualification
• Experience with scheduling, telematics/EWD and timesheet systems

What We Offer

• $120,000 salary + fully maintained company car + superannuation
• A genuine leadership role with real operational ownership — not a senior driver or dispatcher position
• Join an established, growing family-owned business with depots across Cairns, Innisfail, Townsville, Mackay & Rockhampton
• A business actively investing in stronger systems, fleet and support for FY27
• Supportive, collaborative team environment
