You’ll work across CHEP Australia’s Supply Chain, partnering with senior leaders, Service Centre teams and global functions to improve how we operate. You’ll have the autonomy to identify opportunities, challenge existing ways of working and lead programs that create measurable improvement across safety, customer experience, sustainability, productivity and cost.
If you enjoy solving complex operational problems, bringing people with you through change and seeing your ideas translate into measurable results, we’d love to hear from you.
