What does the job look like?

Working as part of the transport team, you will coordinate overnight despatch activities and help ensure trucks and drivers are in the right place at the right time. The role primarily focuses on the physical movement of trucks and drivers rather than customer engagement or extensive administration.

You will coordinate metro, regional and interstate movements and support up to approximately six drivers across production, road and yard activities. As the key overnight contact, you will also need to use your judgement when responding to operational issues and changing priorities. Key areas:

  • Coordinate truck, driver and yard movements throughout the night
  • Allocate truck zones and support the timely despatch of vehicles
  • Coordinate preloading of company vehicles
  • Support regional carrier and interstate movements
  • Coordinate changeover drivers and other yard-based movements
  • Communicate changes and operational updates to drivers
  • Respond to issues that arise during the shift and determine appropriate next steps
  • Support a smooth handover to the morning team
  • Maintain a safe and well-organised overnight operation

Are you the one?

You are reliable, organised and comfortable working overnight. You enjoy coordinating people and activities, communicating clearly and finding practical solutions when plans change. You can demonstrate:

  • Previous experience working night shift
  • Transport or despatch experience is beneficial but not essential
  • Comfortable coordinating drivers and multiple vehicle movements
  • Able to work autonomously and make practical decisions when required
  • Clear and approachable communication style
  • Good organisation and ability to manage changing priorities
  • Comfortable using Microsoft Office and transport systems
  • An understanding of transport safety, fatigue management and Chain of Responsibility requirements
  • Reliable and able to consistently work the required night-shift roster
  • A team-focused approach with a commitment to safe operations

What's in it for me?

  • 12 weeks paid parental leave and return to work bonus for eligible employees
  • Career development opportunities and mentoring programs
  • Access to a range of benefits across dining and adventure, travel and health and well-being
  • The chance to work in a high-performing team where your contributions truly make an impact

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and perspectives; with people of diverse genders, ages, religions, abilities, sexual orientations and cultures (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) encouraged to apply.
