About the Role

Reporting to the Branch Manager, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day performance of our Mackay warehouse—from receiving and supporting inventory management through to picking, packing and dispatch.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll set clear expectations, keep the team connected and create an environment where people can perform at their best. You’ll balance service, safety and efficiency while working closely with teams across the branch and wider business.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, supporting and developing the warehouse team
• Coordinating daily inbound and outbound operations to meet customer and service requirements
• Setting daily priorities and keeping workflows organised, productive and responsive
• Building team capability through coaching, feedback and on-the-job support
• Promoting accountability while maintaining a positive and respectful workplace culture
• Working closely with our Inventory Controller to support stock accuracy, cycle counts and stocktakes
• Monitoring warehouse performance and using systems, reporting and operational insights to identify improvements
• Ensuring forklifts, materials-handling equipment and relevant licences and certifications remain compliant
• Championing safe work practices and maintaining high operational standards
• Collaborating across Sales, Customer Service, Procurement and other teams to resolve challenges and deliver the best outcomes for our customers
• Looking for practical opportunities to improve processes, productivity and service
