Warehouse Team Leader – Dispatch & Operations
Ready to take the next step in your warehouse career?
Lubex Australia is looking for a motivated, hands‐on
Warehouse Team Leader
to take ownership of our daily dispatch operation and help lead our warehouse and production team.
This is
not a desk‐based supervisor role
.
You'll be on the floor working alongside the team — picking and packing orders, booking freight, preparing dispatches, coordinating carriers and making sure customer orders leave accurately and on time.
At the same time, you'll help organize the daily workload, set priorities, support the team and keep the operation moving.
We're open to experienced Team Leaders, but we're also interested in hearing from
Senior Storepersons, Leading Hands, 2ICs and experienced Dispatch/Warehouse Operators who are ready to take their first genuine step into leadership.
About the Role
Dispatch will be the main focus of this position.
You'll take ownership of the day‐to‐day dispatch function, ensuring customer orders are picked, packed, prepared and dispatched accurately and on time.
Your responsibilities will include:
Picking and packing customer orders
Booking freight with transport providers
Preparing courier, carton and pallet freight
Producing freight labels and dispatch documentation
Coordinating daily carrier collections
Checking orders for accuracy before dispatch
Monitoring outstanding orders and daily dispatch priorities
Following up and helping resolve freight and delivery issues
Ensuring products are packed safely and appropriately for transport
Leading and working alongside a small team of approximately
3–6 employees
Allocating daily work and communicating priorities
Monitoring progress throughout the day and adjusting workloads when required
Supporting receiving, put‐away,



replenishment and stock movements
Assisting warehouse and production activities when required
Helping train and develop team members
Maintaining high standards of safety, housekeeping and warehouse organization
Identifying operational problems and taking action to resolve them
Communicating issues, priorities and improvement opportunities with the Operations Manager
About You
We're looking for someone who is
reliable, organized, proactive and comfortable taking ownership.
You don't need to know everything on day one. What matters is that you're willing to learn, have a strong warehouse background and are ready to take responsibility for keeping the operation moving.
Ideally, you'll have:
Previous warehouse, dispatch or distribution experience
Strong picking, packing and dispatch experience
Experience booking freight and dealing with transport providers
Experience preparing pallet and/or courier freight
A current forklift licence
Practical forklift experience
Good computer skills and confidence learning new systems
Strong organization and time‐management skills
Good communication and people skills
A strong focus on accuracy and customer service
The ability to prioritize when multiple jobs require attention
A safety‐focused approach
The willingness to work hands‐on alongside your team
Previous experience as a
Team Leader, Leading Hand or 2IC
would be advantageous, but isn't essential.
Are You Ready to Step Up?




You might already be the person everyone relies on in your current warehouse.
You're the person who notices when something hasn't been done.
You help newer team members.
You understand what needs to leave that day.
When things get busy, you're looking for what needs to happen next rather than waiting for someone to tell you.
If that sounds like you, but you haven't yet been given the opportunity to formally lead a team,
we'd like to hear from you.
We're looking for
initiative, accountability and leadership potential
, not simply a management title on your resume.
Develop Beyond Dispatch
For someone who wants to progress their career, this position offers the opportunity to learn much more than dispatch.
You'll work closely with the
Operations Manager
and gain exposure to areas including:
Warehouse Management | Production Management | Inventory & Stock Control | Operational Planning | Continuous Improvement | KPI Management | Process Improvement
You'll be supported while learning the operation, with the opportunity to gradually take greater ownership as your knowledge and leadership capability develops.
For an ambitious warehouse skilled, this is an opportunity to build genuine experience across the broader operation.
What We Offer
Permanent full‐time employment
Monday to Friday
Day shift
Hands‐on leadership of a small team
Genuine ownership of the dispatch operation
Direct support from the Operations Manager
Opportunity to build formal leadership experience
Exposure to both warehouse and production operations
Development across inventory, planning and continuous improvement
Opportunity to take on greater responsibility as you develop
A workplace where initiative and improvement ideas are encouraged
