Our client is a leading supplier of steel and metal products in Brisbane. They’re looking for a Warehouse Team Leader to take ownership of the day shift and lift the way the warehouse operates.
The team knows the work. They need a hands-on leader who can set clear priorities, keep people accountable and solve problems as they arise. If you prefer making improvements to simply pointing out what’s wrong, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible difference from day one.
The role
You’ll spend around 60% of your time leading the team and 40% working on the tools. You’ll:
- Lead a short shift-start stand-up, set priorities and allocate work
- Keep the team on track and maintain clear standards
- Ensure incoming goods are identified, colour coded and stored correctly
- Keep pick bays stocked and ready for the afternoon shift
- Identify whether issues relate to people, resources or processes, then work through practical solutions
- Lead safety on the floor, including toolbox talks, pre-start inspections, load restraint and Chain of Responsibility requirements
- Improve efficiency and performance measurement
- Operate forklifts and overhead cranes when needed
The team You’ll lead a team of around four, with the scope to extend your leadership into the processing area, where another three or four people work.
You’ll report to site management and work closely with the afternoon shift Team Leader to keep both shifts aligned.
What’s on offer
- Up to $90,000 + superannuation
- Monday to Friday day shift
- The ownership and management support to make practical changes
- The prospect to build team performance and improve how the warehouse runs
What you’ll bring
- Team leadership experience in a warehouse or heavy industry environment; steel or metals experience is an advantage
- A current LF forklift licence
- Overhead crane experience, either ticketed or supported by a solid understanding
- Dogging and slinging competency
- Knowledge of WHS, Chain of Responsibility, load restraint and safe manual handling
- Confidence reading picking slips and delivery documentation

- Flexibility for occasional weekend work or earlier starts during busy periods
