- Working closely with transport providers, customer service teams, sales and supply chain stakeholders.
- Managing labour, costs and resources to meet business and customer requirements.
- Supporting continuous improvement initiatives across warehousing and logistics processes.
- Maintaining high standards of housekeeping, stock control and operational discipline.
What we're looking for
- Previous experience managing a large warehouse or distribution centre operation.
- At least 5 years' experience in a senior warehousing, logistics or distribution leadership role.
- Strong people leadership skills with experience leading supervisors and operational teams.
- Experience managing warehouse KPIs, inventory accuracy and service performance.
- A practical, hands-on leadership style and a willingness to be visible on the floor.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Experience in building materials, manufacturing, industrial or FMCG environments will be highly regarded.
- Experience using Warehouse Management Systems and Microsoft Office applications.
What's in it for you?
In return, you'll lead a key distribution operation servicing one of Australia's largest markets, while joining a stable, well-established business with strong brands and a solid reputation. You'll also have access to career opportunities across Laminex and the wider Fletcher Building group, a two-week shutdown over Christmas, parental leave, generous product discounts across Fletcher Building businesses, and the backing of a business that genuinely prioritises safety and investing in its people.
