KENT Consumer Brands Pet Australia is looking for an experienced
Dispatch & Packing Supervisor
to join our operations team in Queensland.
Reporting to the Factory Manager, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day performance of our dispatch, warehouse and packing operations, leading the team while remaining actively involved on the floor.
This is not a desk-based supervisor role.
You'll coordinate people, priorities and workflow, support loading and dispatch activities, respond to operational issues and help ensure we deliver safely, accurately and efficiently.
If you're an experienced warehouse or logistics supervisor who enjoys being close to the operation and leading a team from the front, this could be a great next step.
What you'll be doing
Lead and coordinate the day-to-day activities of the warehouse and packing teams
Manage workflow and resources to achieve packing and dispatch requirements
Oversee the accurate assembly of orders and loading of outbound vehicles
Coordinate receivals, warehousing, stock movements and dispatch activities
Support forklift activities, including loading and unloading trucks
Manage team rosters, overtime and resource allocation in line with operational requirements
Ensure effective shift handovers and clear communication of priorities
Lead toolbox talks, safety observations and incident investigations
Coach and develop team members across safety, quality and operational practices
Monitor operational issues and drive corrective actions through to completion
Support root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives
Maintain high standards of housekeeping, stock storage and workplace organisation
Work closely with production and other operational teams to maintain efficient workflow
Participate in site leadership meetings and support agreed operational initiatives
We're looking for a practical leader who is comfortable balancing people leadership with the day-to-day demands of a busy operational environment.
What you'll bring
You'll ideally bring:
Demonstrated experience in warehousing, dispatch or logistics operations
Previous experience supervising or leading an operational team
Strong knowledge of warehouse, dispatch and loading practices
A hands-on leadership style and willingness to work alongside the team
Strong safety awareness and experience promoting safe work practices
Practical problem-solving skills and the ability to respond effectively when priorities change
Confidence managing workflow, resources, rosters and competing operational demands
Robust communication skills and the ability to engage and develop team members
Good systems capability, including Microsoft Office
A current forklift licence or demonstrated forklift experience would be highly regarded
