We are looking for a switched-on, hands-on Yard Supervisor / Yard Coordinator to take ownership of a busy yard in Melbourne's western suburbs.

The Opportunity This is a permanent, full-time Monday-Friday position for someone who knows how to keep a busy yard organised, safe & productive.

You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the yard, managing stock movements, coordinating incoming & outgoing jobs, maintaining organised yard stacks & keeping traffic moving safely.

This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be on the ground, working with the team, solving problems & getting stuck in when required.

The Role Your Responsibilities Will Include

Allocating stock & ensuring the right equipment is in the right place

Maintaining safe, organised & efficient yard stacks

Coordinating incoming & outgoing jobs

Directing traffic through a busy, high-volume yard

Coordinating daily yard activities & keeping jobs moving

Physically assisting with yard duties, cleaning & preparing containers

Inspecting stock & ensuring equipment is presented to a high standard

Using a two-way radio to communicate with drivers & team members

Maintaining accurate computer records & stock allocations

Processing job movements & keeping information up to date

Working closely with Warehouse, Fleet & Operations teams

Stepping into fleet duties when required to cover absences

Maintaining a high standard of housekeeping & yard presentation

Identifying problems early & taking action to resolve them

Ensuring all activities are completed safely & efficiently

What We’re Looking For We’re looking for someone who is highly organised, proficient & switched on, with the ability to quickly understand the operation & take ownership.

You’ll Ideally Have

Previous experience in a yard, warehouse, transport,



logistics or similar environment

Experience coordinating stock, jobs, equipment or daily yard activities

Strong organisational & time management skills

Excellent attention to detail

Positive computer skills & confidence learning new systems

Experience working in a busy, high-traffic environment

Confidence communicating over a two-way radio

A strong safety-first mindset

The ability to manage multiple incoming & outgoing jobs

A practical, hands‑on approach

The confidence to direct traffic & coordinate people around the yard

The initiative to identify what needs doing & get it done

The ability to step up & take responsibility when required

A current Forklift Licence is preferred.

Why This Role? This is a varied operation supporting a broad range of commercial, construction & major project requirements.

One day you could be coordinating standard yard movements, while the next you’re helping manage equipment requirements for a large-scale project with tight deadlines.

You’ll need to pick things up quickly, understand how the entire yard operates & become the person others can rely on to keep things moving.

There is also the opportunity to provide support across fleet operations when required, giving the right person exposure to more than just the yard.

What We’re Offering

Monday-Friday fulltime hours

Hands‑on leadership opportunity

Busy & varied working environment

Opportunity to take ownership of the yard operation

Variety across yard, stock, logistics & fleet

Competitive hourly rate based on experience & capability

Opportunity for the right person to grow with the business

Location Based in Melbourne's western suburbs, this role would suit someone living within approximately 20-30 minutes of the area.
