ABOUT KINGLOC COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT

Kingloc Commercial Equipment is a proudly Australian-owned business with over 40 years’ experience in commercial refrigeration. We specialise in plug-in refrigeration equipment and provide end-to-end solutions across warehousing, logistics, servicing and asset management for national corporate clients.

Due to continued growth, we are seeking a hands-on Transport and Warehouse Manager to lead our NSW warehouse and logistics operations from our Minchinbury branch. While previous experience in transport, warehousing or team leadership will be valued, we are equally interested in finding the right person — someone who takes initiative, works hard, asks questions and is genuinely willing to learn and grow with the business. You don't need to know everything on day one; we're looking for someone who is proactive, takes ownership and is motivated to continually improve.

For the right person, this role offers genuine development opportunities and the potential to progress into broader operational leadership as the business continues to grow.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role responsible for the day-to-day management and performance of our NSW transport, warehouse and distribution operations based at our Minchinbury branch.

You will lead a team of drivers, warehouse staff and operational support personnel, ensuring the safe, efficient and cost-effective movement, storage and distribution of refrigeration equipment across NSW. The role is responsible for driving operational performance, maintaining high service standards, supporting compliance requirements and fostering a positive team culture.

This position offers the opportunity to play a key role within a growing national business, with ongoing professional development and future career progression opportunities for the right candidate.

This is a fully site-based position and requires a consistent on-site presence to effectively lead teams, support daily operations and maintain strong engagement with employees and customers.

• Contributing to state and national operational projects, strategic initiatives and the continued growth of the business.
