- One of two Supervisors also covers rostered Saturday morning operations, shared based on business need

- Convert the approved schedule into safe, compliant and commercially controlled job execution

- Direct and coach driver performance, monitor job progress, and resolve operational exceptions as they happen

- Own daily compliance — fatigue, mass, load restraint, pre-starts and NHVR/Chain of Responsibility

- Be the key link between drivers, scheduling, fleet and customers

Essential Requirements

Desirable

What We Offer

- Join an established, growing family-owned business with depots across Cairns, Innisfail, Townsville, Mackay & Rockhampton

- A business actively investing in stronger systems, fleet and support for FY27

- Supportive, team-oriented team environment
