We are seeking a highly organised and hands-on Warehouse Manager to join our growing team in Nunawading.

This is a diverse role that goes well beyond traditional warehousing. As Warehouse Manager, you will take ownership of the day-to-day operation of our warehouse, ensuring inventory is accurately managed, customer orders are prepared and dispatched correctly, and equipment is assembled, tested, and delivered to the highest standard.

You'll be equally comfortable operating a forklift, unloading shipping containers, assembling commercial food equipment, performing electrical testing, coordinating dispatches, managing inventory accuracy, and driving continuous improvements across warehouse operations.

Working closely with the Operations Manager, you'll have responsibility for the overall performance of the warehouse while also remaining hands-on in the day-to-day activities. The role requires someone who can work independently, take ownership of outcomes, and collaborate effectively with a part time warehouse team member and the broader business when required.

If you enjoy variety, take pride in quality workmanship, and want to play a key role in a growing Australian business, we'd love to hear from you.
