About the role

Emu Bay Taxis is looking for a capable, practical person to take ownership of the day-to-day operational side of our taxi business across Burnie and Wynyard. This isn't a role where you'll sit behind a desk waiting for something to happen. You'll be the person helping keep the operation moving: supporting drivers, dealing with day-to-day issues, managing coverage, keeping an eye on vehicles and bookings, and making practical decisions when something needs sorting. We're restructuring the management side of the business so operational responsibility is clearer and more sustainable. The right person will have genuine authority over normal day-to-day operations, while working closely with senior management on larger issues, commercial decisions and business improvement.

About you
Experience in transport, logistics, operations, hospitality management, retail management, fleet management, rostering, customer service, workforce coordination, running your own business, or another fast-moving workplace where problems need to be solved quickly
Calm when things go wrong
Communicate well with different personalities
Can make sensible decisions without needing constant approval
Organised but adaptable
Comfortable using technology
