VG Group is a Toowoomba-based equipment company operating two brands — DTE Equipment (vegetation and land management equipment) and Vortec Global (hydroseeders and erosion control equipment, manufactured here in Australia). We're growing rapid and need an Operations Coordinator to run the floor.

About the Role

This is an office-based coordination role at the centre of our operation. You'll be the person making sure the right stock arrives, the right products get built in the right order, and the right freight goes out the door on time. You'll lead a small team of 4 assembly and warehouse personnel and report directly to our Operations Director.

Key Responsibilities

Production

Schedule and sequence daily/weekly production against sales demand

Allocate work across the 4 assemblers and manage day-to-day workload and priorities

Monitor build quality and throughput, reporting blockers as they arise

Receiving

Manage non-conformances on receipt (damaged, short, or incorrect items) and follow up with suppliers

Ensure stock is logged into the system accurately and promptly

Warehousing

Own Kanban, stock location, storage standards, and inventory accuracy

Coordinate cyclic counts and stocktakes

Manage consumables and shop stock reordering

Development to Production

Coordinate the handover of new and updated products from engineering into repeatable production runs

Own build documentation, BOMs, and work instructions for the floor

Communicate design-for-manufacture issues from assembly team back to engineering

Dispatch, Delivery & Training Coordination

Book outbound freight and coordinate carriers

Coordinate delivery timing with sales and customers

Health & Safety

Own H&S; compliance for the floor

Key Performance Indicators

- On-time dispatch rate — freight booked and goods shipped against promised delivery dates




- Production schedule adherence — builds completed against the planned weekly schedule
- Inventory accuracy — variance between system stock and physical stocktake counts
- Receiving turnaround — time from goods-in to stock being logged and available
- H&S; compliance — inductions, toolbox talks, and incident/hazard reporting completed on schedule
- Team output — assembler workload allocated and tracked with no avoidable downtime

Who You Report To

You’ll report to our Operations Director, who sets the standard for process and structure across operations, leads major system improvements, and provides technical advice — your job is to own the day-to-day execution so those standards are actually run to.

What We’re Looking For

- Experience coordinating warehouse, production, or logistics operations
- Comfortable leading a small team and holding people accountable
- Strong organisational skills — juggling receiving, scheduling, and dispatch without dropping balls
- Confident with systems (inventory/CRM/ERP) and comfortable being the source of truth for stock and production status
- Health & Safety experience, or willingness to own it
- Manufacturing, equipment, or industrial background highly regarded

This role offers genuine career progression within VG Group. As you build a strong track record running the floor, there’s a clear path to progress into an Operations Manager role. We’re also a business that supports people moving around internally — if your interests or strengths point toward another part of the business, we’re open to backing that move too.

What We Offer

- Team building events and lunches
- Great culture with a highly engaged team

Why VG Group

We’re growing fast, and we get things done without corporate red tape. You won’t be a small cog in a big machine — you’ll run a real part of the business and see your work matter every day.
