Daily Chef is a high-growth food manufacturing business producing premium chilled meals for major Australian retailers. Based at our Forrestdale facility, we’re looking for a hands-on, driven Dispatch Team Lead to own our order picking and outbound dispatch operation.

If you’re someone who takes pride in running an accurate, fast, and well-organised pick floor — and who has the people skills to get the best out of a team — we’d love to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You’ll lead our pick and pack team day-to-day, taking direct ownership of order accuracy, outbound dispatch, and packaging equipment readiness. Your key responsibilities will include:

- Supervising daily pick, pack, and dispatch operations to meet order accuracy and on-time delivery targets.
- Operating and maintaining packaging machinery — conducting daily pre-op checks, performing routine maintenance, and logging and escalating faults.
- Leading, coaching, and developing your team to consistently hit productivity and quality targets.
- Maintaining stock accuracy through real-time WMS transactions, FIFO discipline, and regular cycle counts.
- Ensuring full compliance with WHS requirements — safety on the pick floor is non‑negotiable.
- Liaising with Production, Planning, and Transport providers to keep outbound operations running smoothly.
- Identifying and driving continuous improvement initiatives to improve pick efficiency and reduce errors.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR





You’re a proven warehouse leader who leads from the front. You know your way around a pick floor, you’re comfortable with packaging machinery, and you understand that accuracy and timeliness aren’t optional.

You’ll bring:

- Demonstrated experience as a dispatch team leader or supervisor, with a focus on order picking and dispatch.
- Hands‑on experience operating and performing basic maintenance on packaging machinery (sealers, labelers, strapping machines, or similar).
- Experience using a Warehouse Management System (WMS) - you use it accurately and in real time, every time.
- A strong understanding of FIFO, cycle counting, and inventory accuracy principles.
- A commitment to WHS compliance — you don’t cut corners on safety.
- Transparent, direct communication and the ability to get the best out of a team.

Highly regarded:

- Forklift licence (LF and/or LO).
- Experience in a food manufacturing, FMCG, or temperature‑controlled environment.
- Certificate III or IV in Warehousing & Logistics.

WHAT WE OFFER

- A full‑time permanent role with a growing food manufacturing business.
- A supportive and driven team culture that recognises and rewards performance.
- Real career development opportunities as Daily Chef continues to grow.
- A workplace that values safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

Daily Chef is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities.
