Warehouse Manager - 3PL / Full Site Autonomy
If you are a proven all-rounder who can juggle priorities that change through the day, keep customers informed without being chased, and grow a site while holding it to a standard you set yourself, this site is yours to run - and you will need to hit the ground running.
The role in one paragraph
Arion Logistics is a third-party logistics business. Our Leppington warehouse has capacity for 6,500 locations, handles mainly ambient goods with a small amount of refrigerated, and serves around seven customers - a number that is growing. You will run the site: the floor, the team, the customers, the costs and the growth, with full autonomy and control. The biggest challenge in this role is managing priorities and conflicts as they come up through the day, while giving customers clear feedback and commentary on their freight. If that is where you do your best work, read on.
