About Great Southern Fuel Supplies

Great Southern Fuel Supplies (GSFS) is a leading bulk fuel and lubricant distributor with a network of over 85 sites across Western Australia. From our origins in Lake Grace to our extensive modern operations, we supply premium BP fuel and Castrol lubricants to the heart of regional WA. We are proud of our culture of trust, respect, and our deep commitment to the local communities we serve.

We are continuing to grow and evolve, with a strong focus on safety, people, operational excellence and customer service.

We are currently seeking an experienced and highly organised Transport Scheduler to join our team based out of the Forrestfield Head Office.  This position plays a key role in coordinating the safe, efficient and reliable movement of our drivers and fleet in our Kalgoorlie and Goldfields operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and coordinate transport schedule routes for bulk fuel deliveries from terminals to customer sites.
• Allocate drivers, vehicles and loads to meet customer and operational requirements.
• Communicate effectively with drivers throughout the day and provide support when schedules change.
• Liaise with customers regarding deliveries, changes and operational requirements.
• Monitor customer fuel levels and coordinate proactive dispatch.
• Monitor vehicle availability, maintenance requirements and operational constraints.
• Identify and resolve scheduling conflicts and unexpected operational issues.
• Ensure transport activities are undertaken in accordance with company procedures, safety requirements and relevant legislation.
• Maintain accurate scheduling and transport records.
• Support a positive safety culture by ensuring safety is considered in all scheduling and operational decisions.
• Occasional after-hours/on-call availability may be required due to the nature of our regional transport operations and would primarily involve being available by phone to respond to urgent operational issues.  This requirement is infrequent and would be managed on a reasonable and rotational basis where practical.
