- Experience driving process improvements and implementing positive cultural change.
- Excellent communication and people management skills.
- A mature, practical leadership style with the confidence and life experience to manage an established workforce.
- A proactive approach, strong commercial awareness and a genuine desire to make a difference.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, leads by example and is looking for a long-term opportunity where they can really make their mark. What's in It for You?

- Excellent salary package on offer.
- Car allowance.
- Performance-based bonus opportunity.
- Monday to Friday, with great working hours.
- Convenient Northern Gold Coast location.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Logistics Manager who is looking for more than just another job. You'll be joining a well-established organisation with a outstanding culture, a strong team and a genuine interest in finding someone who wants to be part of the business for the long term.
