We’re opening a brand-new Voltex Distribution Centre in Melbourne toward the end of this year and we’re looking for a hands-on warehouse leader to take full ownership of day-to-day warehouse execution and help build a high-performing team from day one. This is a Melbourne-first leadership role with real autonomy — you’ll help set up the site, hire the team, and establish the standards that will define the DC long term. What you’ll do Run daily floor execution across receiving, picking, packing, dispatch and inventory flow; keep the operation on time and smooth during peaks. Lead and develop the team: set standards, coach performance, manage rostering, and address issues early. Own accuracy and inventory discipline (cycle counts, discrepancy resolution, reducing errors). Embed safety and compliance in partnership with the OHS Captain, maintain equipment and storage standards. Drive practical continuous improvement to remove bottlenecks and lift speed/quality. Key link between warehouse and Supply Chain / Customer Service. Report to the Operations Captain. Directly manage up to 6 people initially, growing to 10 over the next few years. Requirements Proven warehouse leadership experience across end-to-end floor ops (receiving → dispatch) Strong people leadership: coaching, standards, accountability, rostering/performance management Track record improving accuracy, flow, and team performance Safety-first mindset and confidence operating within OHS expectations Practical continuous improvement approach (standardise, simplify, uplift) Willingness to travel for onboarding. We’ll fly you to Adelaide for a paid 2-week immersion (home weekends), plus 1 week in Sydney — so you can launch Melbourne with proven systems. Benefits This is a high-ownership role with real influence. You won’t be inheriting a rigid operation — you’ll be helping shape how the Melbourne DC runs. Paid onboarding immersion in ADL SYD (all travel covered; home weekends) Stable roster / predictable hours Opportunity to shape layout, tooling and workflows as the site ramps up Clear growth pathway as the Melbourne DC scales Accessible location with parking available This role is Ideal for a Warehouse Supervisor / Team Leader ready to step into a leadership role.
