What's The Role

Love working in a fast-paced environment? Are you highly organised, customer-focused, and thrive when every day is different? If so, we have a fantastic opportunity waiting for you!

Join our team in the role of Transport Administrator and become a key player in keeping our operations running smoothly. You’ll also have the chance to cross-train across departments and support the team during peak periods and leave coverage.

Your responsibilities will include, but not limited to

• Allocate daily operational duties and resources
• Plan and coordinate loads to meet customer and operational requirements
• Operate vehicles when required to support business needs
• Prepare manifests and transport documentation

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Problem-solving mindset with the ability to think quickly and make sound decisions
• Resilient and adaptable approach, with the ability to work under pressure
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with drivers, customers, and internal teams
• Transport industry experience preferred, but not essential — training will be provided to the right candidate
• BFM accreditation, or willingness to obtain, with an understanding of NHVR regulations considered advantageous

We welcome candidates from high-intensity industries like logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and retail—even if you haven’t worked in transport before.
