KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Leadership & Team Management: Oversee and support 70 drivers and a scheduling team across a 7-day transport operation.
  • Service Excellence: Collaborate closely with Customer Service and Warehouse teams to ensure delivery standards, driver support, and timely execution.
  • Compliance & Safety: Own all aspects of Chain of Responsibility (COR), driver hours, food safety regulations, vehicle servicing, driver audits, and WorkSafe audits.
  • Operational Oversight: Lead a team of AM/PM supervisors to ensure efficient scheduling, routing, and execution of multi-drop deliveries across the network.
  • Problem Solving & Urgency: Step in and step up when needed - if a driver calls in sick or a truck breaks down, you’re the one keeping the show on the road.

  • Experience leading teams in a fast-paced, service-driven environment.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities, think on your feet, and make confident decisions
  • Flexible, proactive, and comfortable rolling up your sleeves - you’re as comfortable in the truck yard as you are in a meeting
  • A genuine people leader who listens, communicates, and can confidently have the tough conversations when needed.
  • A commitment to doing the right thing - for your team, our customers, and the business
