Warehouse leadership. Inventory control. Distribution. Despatch. People.

If you know how to run a busy warehouse and distribution operation — not just supervise one — this could be your next step.

M&B; Sales is seeking an experienced Warehouse & Distribution Manager – 2IC to help lead our Bayswater operation.

Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, this is a hands‑on second‑in‑command role with responsibility across warehouse operations, inventory control, yard, despatch, transport coordination and frontline team performance.

We need someone who understands the discipline required to move a high volume of building products through a busy distribution operation safely, accurately and on time.

This is not an office‑based operations role.

You will be on the floor, leading people, managing priorities, solving problems and making sure the operation delivers.

The Opportunity

Our Bayswater site is a key distribution hub for M&B;, servicing customers throughout the Perth metropolitan area and supporting our WA branch network.

The operation handles a broad and sometimes complex range of timber, doors, hardware and building products, where stock accuracy, location control, picking accuracy, load quality and delivery performance matter every day.

Working alongside our Operations Manager, you will help take ownership of the daily operation and continue building the systems, standards and accountability required as M&B; grows.

For the right person, this role provides genuine scope to develop into broader operational leadership within M&B.;

What You'll Own

Your responsibilities will include:





Leading day-to-day warehouse, yard and despatch activity

Coordinating labour and resources against daily workload

Maintaining strong inventory, stock‑location and stock‑movement controls

Managing picking, staging, checking and despatch disciplines

Supporting daily transport and delivery planning

Driving DIFOT, order accuracy and customer service performance

Ensuring orders leave complete, accurate and in A1 condition

Managing operational priorities when volumes or circumstances change

Monitoring labour utilisation, overtime and productivity

Leading and developing frontline operational employees

Setting clear standards and holding people accountable

Investigating stock discrepancies, picking errors, damage and delivery failures

Identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions

Driving practical improvements to warehouse layout, workflow and processes

Maintaining solid safety standards across the operation

Using operational systems and data to improve performance

Acting as operational lead when the Operations Manager is unavailable

Who We're Looking For

We are specifically looking for someone with hands‑on warehouse and distribution experience.

You may currently be a:





Warehouse Manager | Distribution Supervisor | Logistics Supervisor | Warehouse Supervisor | Despatch Manager | Operations Supervisor | Distribution Manager

You don't need to come from timber or building materials, but you do need to understand warehouse and distribution operations.

We'd particularly like to hear from you if you have experience with:

High-volume warehouse or distribution operations

Inventory control and stock‑location management

Pick, pack, stage and despatch processes

Transport or delivery coordination

Warehouse management or ERP systems

Leading frontline warehouse teams

Labour planning and daily resource allocation

KPI-driven operational environments

Investigating inventory or operational failures

Continuous improvement and process discipline

Forklift and mobile plant environments

Experience within timber, hardware, building products, construction supply, FMCG, industrial distribution, manufacturing or similar environments would be highly regarded.

The Leadership Style We Need

We're looking for someone who is visible, practical and accountable.

Someone who walks the floor and knows what's happening.

Someone who notices when stock isn't where it should be.

Someone who asks why an order wasn't picked correctly — and fixes the process behind it.

Someone who can organise a busy team when priorities change.

Someone who can have a difficult conversation when standards aren't being met.

And importantly, someone who doesn't wait for the Operations Manager to tell them what needs doing.
