Job Description

Take real operational control. Lead a shift, not just cover one, with a growing North Queensland transport business investing in stronger systems for FY27.

About the Role

  • Own end-to-end control of your rostered shift (4:00am–1:00pm or 11:00am–8:00pm), with a structured two-hour handover

  • One of two Supervisors also covers rostered Saturday morning operations, shared based on business need

  • Convert the approved schedule into safe, compliant and commercially controlled job execution

  • Direct and coach driver performance, monitor job progress, and resolve operational exceptions as they happen

  • Own daily compliance — fatigue, mass, load restraint, pre-starts and NHVR/Chain of Responsibility

  • Be the key link between drivers, scheduling, fleet and customers

Essential Requirements

  • Substantial operational experience in transport, heavy haulage, road train, crane truck or logistics

  • Demonstrated experience supervising drivers and controlling multiple jobs in a time-critical environment

  • Strong scheduling and dispatch background, with solid NHVR compliance knowledge (fatigue, COR, WHS)

  • Current HC & LF/Forklift licence

  • Clear, confident communicator — comfortable being the hub between drivers, customers and management

  • Available for the rostered shift, including shared rostered Saturday morning coverage

  • Australian working rights

Desirable

  • MC, CV, Doggers licence

  • White Card

  • Formal transport, logistics, heavy vehicle or supervisory qualification

  • Experience with scheduling, telematics/EWD and timesheet systems

What We Offer

  • $120,000 salary + fully maintained company car + superannuation

  • A genuine leadership role with real operational ownership — not a senior driver or dispatcher position

  • Join an established, growing family-owned business with depots across Cairns, Innisfail, Townsville, Mackay & Rockhampton

  • A business actively investing in stronger systems, fleet and support for FY27

  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
