Build strong relationships with suppliers, customers, and internal stakeholders
Support production planning and scheduling through data insights and trend analysis
You’re a proactive and solutions-focused professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Highly organised and detail-driven, you enjoy working collaboratively and take pride in delivering outcomes that make a real impact.
You bring a practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving and are confident managing competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and efficiency.
You’ll also bring:
Experience in manufacturing, production, logistics or transport (preferred, but not essential)
A decisive, solutions-oriented mindset with strong problem-solving skills
Sound geographical knowledge of Melbourne/Victoria
Strong relationship-building skills across a range of stakeholders
A genuine commitment to safety as a core value
A driven, outcomes-focused attitude and strong sense of ownership
Clear and confident communication skills—both written and verbal
Solid computer skills, including Microsoft Office and related systems
