Job Description
Mini Melts Australia is seeking an experienced Warehouse & Logistics Manager to run our warehouse operation and drive safety, stock accuracy, cold-chain integrity, customer service and operational efficiency.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys leading from the warehouse floor, keeping product moving on time and in full, and building the discipline a growing frozen-food business needs.

About the Role
n
Reporting to the CEO, you'll own the day-to-day running of the Revesby warehouse and the movement of stock in and out of it — from inwards goods, storage and stock control through to picking, packing, dispatch, delivery and the freight that connects our cold chain across the country and across the border.
n
It's an accountable role that combines warehouse operations with logistics coordination, deliveries, customer liaison and on-site event support. You'll protect the cold chain, keep the warehouse safe and audit-ready, and keep customers, drivers and partners informed every step of the way.
