This role is responsible for leading a team of 40 people and ensuring the site runs safely, efficiently and delivers great service to customers across Sydney and regional NSW.

We're looking for someone who has led a sizeable warehouse or distribution operation before and knows how to balance safety, productivity, inventory accuracy and customer service. Just as importantly, you'll be someone who can build a strong team culture, hold people accountable and get the best out of your leaders and frontline teams.

You'll have overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the Distribution Centre and in house transport team, including:

Leading and developing a team and driving a strong safety culture and ensuring compliance across the site.
Managing warehouse operations, inventory accuracy and outbound service performance.
Monitoring operational metrics and identifying opportunities to improve productivity and efficiency.
Working closely with transport providers, customer service teams, sales and supply chain stakeholders.
Managing labour, costs and resources to meet business and customer requirements.
Supporting continuous improvement initiatives across warehousing and logistics processes.
Maintaining high standards of housekeeping, stock control and operational discipline.

What we're looking for

Previous experience managing a large warehouse or distribution centre operation.
At least 5 years' experience in a senior warehousing, logistics or distribution leadership role.
Strong people leadership skills with experience leading supervisors and operational teams.
Experience managing warehouse KPIs, inventory accuracy and service performance.
A practical, hands-on leadership style and a willingness to be visible on the floor.
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
Experience in building materials, manufacturing, industrial or FMCG environments will be highly regarded.
Experience using Warehouse Management Systems and Microsoft Office applications.

What's in it for you?

In return, you'll lead a key distribution operation servicing one of Australia's largest markets, while joining a stable, well-established business with strong brands and a solid reputation. You'll also have access to career opportunities across Laminex and the wider Fletcher Building group, a two-week shutdown over Christmas, parental leave, generous product discounts across Fletcher Building businesses, and the backing of a business that genuinely prioritises safety and investing in its people.
