Job Description
J. Furphy & Sons is a long-established Australian manufacturing business with operations spanning galvanising, steel fabrication and protective coatings.
An opportunity is now available for a Scheduling & Logistics Coordinator to join the Geelong operation in Corio.
This is a hands-on coordination role sitting between customers, production and transport.
You'll be responsible for scheduling work through the galvanising plant while coordinating the movement of materials and finished products into and out of the site.
For someone who enjoys working in a busy operational environment, this role offers plenty of variety.
You'll be balancing customer deadlines, production requirements, transport availability and changing priorities throughout the day.
The role
Working closely with the Scheduling & Logistics Manager, production teams and customers, your responsibilities will include:
Coordinating and scheduling work through the galvanising plant
Planning inbound and outbound freight movements
Liaising with customers regarding bookings, deadlines and delivery requirements
Coordinating drivers, carriers and external logistics providers
Organising the movement, storage and distribution of materials and finished products
Coordinating the loading and unloading of structural steel of varying sizes and weights
Prioritising work according to customer deadlines and operational requirements
Monitoring transport movements and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency
Preparing quotations and maintaining accurate job and customer records
Resolving scheduling, transport and customer issues as they arise
Working closely with production to ensure customer commitments can be achieved




The position becomes an important link between the customer and the plant, with responsibility for keeping work and information moving efficiently.
About you
We're interested in hearing from candidates with experience across scheduling, logistics, transport coordination, production planning or operational administration.
Experience within manufacturing, steel, construction, transport or another quick-moving operational environment would be particularly relevant, although direct galvanising experience isn't essential.
You'll ideally bring
Strong organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities
Experience coordinating schedules, transport or operational workflows
Confident communication with customers, drivers and internal teams
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to react when plans change
Good attention to detail and administrative accuracy
Competency with Microsoft Office and business/logistics systems
A practical, commercially minded approach to transport and scheduling
The ability to work effectively across both office and production environments
Qualifications in Business Administration, Logistics or Supply Chain Management are advantageous, although Furphy is also open to someone willing to undertake relevant study.
Why Furphy?
This is an opportunity to join an established Geelong manufacturer in a role with genuine responsibility across the day-to-day operation.
You'll work closely with customers, production leaders, management and transport providers and develop a strong understanding of the galvanising and steel-manufacturing process.
Furphy places an emphasis on safety, continuous improvement, integrity, customer value and its connection to the local community.
