Lead the technology that keeps a fleet moving.
Wettenhalls is looking for a Head of Information Technology who can move comfortably between the server room and the strategy table. One day you will be rolling up your sleeves to solve a system issue on the ground, the next you will be advising on future direction and managing the risks that come with a growing, fast-paced operation. This role needs a genuine ground leader - someone with the technical depth to earn trust on the floor and the commercial judgement to guide where the business is headed.
You will bring both practical, hands-on IT expertise and the strategic capability to shape technology direction, manage risk, and support the business as it grows.
What you will be doing
Setting the IT strategy and acting as a trusted technology advisor to our Executive Leadership Team.
Owning cybersecurity, risk and governance - protecting the systems and data our operations rely on.
Leading, mentoring and growing a high-performing IT team.
Overseeing infrastructure, networks, cloud platforms and the mission-critical systems behind our transport operations (think telematics, fleet and scheduling platforms).
Managing vendor and managed service relationships, negotiating SLAs and holding providers to account.
Driving innovation - spearheading practical AI, automation and digital transformation initiatives that deliver real business value.
Championing data governance and enabling smarter, data-driven decision-making across the business.
Partnering with Operations, Safety,



Finance and Projects to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions on the ground.
A permanent, in office role based at Altona or Geelong - be part of a close-knit, high-performing team.
A business that values teamwork, innovation and integrity in everything it does.
What you will bring
10+ years of experience in a senior IT leadership role.
Proven ability to move between hands-on, operational IT work and strategic planning - equally comfortable troubleshooting a system issue and advising on future direction.
Strong grounding in cybersecurity frameworks and risk management.
Hands-on experience managing complex IT infrastructure and cloud environments.
A track record of influencing and advising executive-level stakeholders.
Experience managing external vendors and service providers.
Comfort operating in governance, compliance and audit environments.
Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
Experience in transport, logistics or another operational industry is a strong advantage.
Real influence over strategy, working closely with our Executive Leadership Team.
The chance to lead AI and digital innovation in an industry ready for it.
If you are a hands-on, strategic IT leader who can operate as a genuine ground leader - as comfortable solving problems on the floor as you are shaping future direction - we want to hear from you.
We prioritise providing a supportive working environment that embraces and values diversity and inclusion.
We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds and cultures to apply.
