? Is This YOU?

Are you a young, driven professional who's ready to stop following orders and start making the calls?

Do you have the qualifications, the hunger, and the ambition to take on a role that's bigger than just a job — one that becomes YOUR project, YOUR team, YOUR legacy?

Are you also looking for something real — a role that offers genuine long-term security for you and your family, not just a paycheck?

If you're nodding right now... keep reading.

? SECURITY MEETS AMBITION

This role is built for someone who wants both — the drive to push forward and prove yourself, and the stability of knowing you're building a long-term career, not just filling a gap.

We want someone who can blend ambition with security — who's hungry to grow, but also values:

- Stability for your family — a permanent, secure role with a business that's invested in your future

- A clear, structured path forward — not just a job, but a genuine career

- The drive to earn your progression — through results, leadership, and initiative

- Long-term thinking — building something that lasts, for yourself and those who depend on you

This is the opportunity to have it both ways — chase your ambition while building real security underneath you.

? THE OPPORTUNITY

This isn't just another maintenance role. This is your chance to step up, take the reins, and prove what you're capable of.

We're handing you the keys to a fleet of 285 assets — 50 trucks, 150 trailers, 50 forklifts, and 35 dollies — spread across 10 regional depots throughout Western Australia, plus a team of 10 skilled workshop staff who are ready to be led by someone with fresh energy, sharp thinking, and a genuine drive to succeed.

You'll report directly to our Group Fleet Maintenance & Equipment Manager, giving you direct exposure to senior leadership and a clear line of sight into how the bigger picture operates — the perfect springboard for someone serious about climbing the ladder.

This is a rare opportunity for someone early-to-mid career to fast-track into a management position most people wait a decade for.

❄️ THE ROLE WILL EVOLVE — GROW WITH IT

This position isn't static. As you grow into the role, there's a genuine opportunity to expand your scope and skillset into new areas of the business, including:

- Refrigerated Transport Equipment — gaining exposure to and responsibility for our reefer fleet and specialized equipment





- Refrigeration Systems & Cold Chain Understanding — developing knowledge of cold storage and cold chain operations, a highly valued and specialized skillset in the transport and logistics industry

- Broader technical expertise — positioning you as a more valuable, well-rounded leader within the business

This is a long-term development pathway, not a short-term appointment. For the right person, this is a chance to become genuinely specialized in an area of the industry that's in high demand — adding real value to your career and your future earning potential.

?️ THE FOOTPRINT

- 10 Regional Depots located across Western Australia

- Equipment and assets distributed across all depot locations

- Regular travel required to regional sites for inspections, audits, team support, and operational oversight

- Based out of Perth, with a mix of office/workshop time and time on the road visiting depots

? WHAT YOU'LL OWN

- Full responsibility for fleet maintenance and reliability across trucks, trailers, forklifts & dollies — statewide

- Oversight and coordination of equipment and maintenance standards across 10 regional depots

- Leadership of a 10-person workshop team — your crew, your culture

- Real decision-making power on budgets, scheduling, and vendor relationships

- The chance to build and implement your own systems and processes across multiple sites

- Growing involvement in refrigerated transport equipment and cold chain systems as your knowledge develops

- Regular regional travel to maintain hands-on visibility of depot operations

- A genuine career pathway — this role is a launchpad, not a ceiling

? REPORTING STRUCTURE

You won't be operating in isolation. You'll report directly to the Group Fleet Maintenance & Equipment Manager, who will:

- Provide mentorship and support as you grow into the role

- Give you visibility into group-wide strategy and decision-making

- Support your development into specialized areas like refrigeration and cold chain equipment

- Help fast-track your development toward more senior leadership positions

- Back you with resources and guidance while still giving you real autonomy

✅ WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We need someone who ticks these boxes:

- Relevant trade or technical qualification (Diesel Mechanic / Heavy Vehicle Technician or similar)

- Minimum 5 years' experience in fleet, workshop, or maintenance environments

- More important than experience — we want ATTITUDE. Hungry, driven, and hands-on

- Natural leadership instincts,



even if untested at this level yet

- Problem-solver mentality — someone who sees challenges as opportunities

- Openness to learning refrigeration systems and cold chain equipment — no prior experience required, just willingness

- Willingness and flexibility to travel to regional depots across WA as required

- Current driver's license (HR/HC highly regarded)

- Comfortable with modern fleet management systems and technology

- Someone looking for genuine long-term career security, not just a short-term role

? WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

This isn't about filling a seat. It's about finding the right person who wants to:

- Make their mark across a statewide operation and build something they're proud of

- Grow into senior leadership as the business scales

- Develop specialized, in-demand skills in refrigerated transport and cold chain systems

- Be trusted with real autonomy and real responsibility across multiple sites

- Gain broad exposure to regional operations most people don't get access to this early

- Build genuine security for their family, backed by a clear development pathway

- Build a career story that says "I built that" — not just "I worked there"

We're not looking for someone to coast. We're looking for someone to lead — and to grow with us for the long haul.

? WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

- Market-competitive salary package + superannuation

- Genuine job security — a long-term career, not just a role

- Clear career progression opportunities as you prove yourself

- Specialized training in refrigerated transport and cold chain systems

- Ongoing training and professional development support

- Mentorship and support from the Group Fleet Maintenance & Equipment Manager

- Travel allowances/entitlements for regional depot visits

- Join a company that backs ambition and rewards results

- Vehicle/tools of trade allowance (where applicable)
