Waverley Forklifts is an independently Australian-owned business with a history spanning over 50 years. We have grown to become one of Australia’s largest fully independent forklift and transport companies, specialising in forklift rentals, equipment servicing, equipment sales and machinery transport, with an established branch network across Australia.

With continued growth across our Queensland operations, we have created a new opportunity for an experienced Transport Coordinator to join our team at Yatala.

The Role:

Reporting to the QLD State Manager and working closely with our National Transport Manager, you’ll play a key role in the daily coordination of our Queensland transport fleet, ensuring our trucks, drivers and customer movements are planned safely and efficiently.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Coordinating daily truck and driver movements to maximise fleet efficiency

Planning loads and allocating work across the fleet

Maintaining regular communication with drivers, customers and internal teams throughout the day

Monitoring schedules and responding to changing priorities, delays and customer requirements

Maintaining accurate job and scheduling information within our transport system

Ensuring driver documentation, pre-trip inspections, timesheets and proof of delivery requirements are completed

Coordinating fleet repairs and maintenance with the QLD State Manager and National Transport Manager

Providing a high level of service to internal and external customers

Supporting driver compliance with safe work practices and relevant heavy vehicle and WHS requirements





The Right Person for the Role:

Transport rarely goes exactly to plan, so we’re looking for someone who is organised, calm under pressure and positive at finding solutions.

Ideally, you will bring:

Previous transport coordination, allocation or scheduling experience

Knowledge of machinery transport, loading and restraint practices highly regarded

Good knowledge of Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounding regional areas

Strong customer service aptitude and communication skills

The confidence to communicate effectively with drivers, customers and internal teams

Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities

Sound computer skills and the ability to confidently learn our operating systems

A practical, hands‑on approach and willingness to work as part of a broader team

What is on offer:

Competitive remuneration, $85,000 to $95,000 + superannuation

Ongoing, full‑time position created as part of our continued Queensland growth

Excellent working conditions at our Yatala branch with onsite parking

Supportive, experienced and high‑performing Queensland team

Well‑managed induction and ongoing training and development

Modern transport and rental fleet from leading equipment manufacturers

The stability and resources of an established, Australian‑owned national business

A dynamic workplace with exposure to our affiliated Supercars team

If you’re an experienced Transport Coordinator who enjoys keeping things moving, solving problems and working with a great team, we’d like to hear from you.
