Are you a seasoned logistics leader ready to move beyond managing costs to driving profitable commercial outcomes?
Do you thrive in an environment where operational excellence meets cutting-edge sustainability?
Your Opportunity
We are seeking a high-impact Regional Logistics Manager to take autonomous control of our logistics network across NSW and the ACT.
This role is central to executing our ambitious NextGen Growth strategy, which pivots our business toward high-margin, sustainable solutions like ECOPact and the customer-centric Readymix brand rollout.
You will provide essential Logistics Leadership, working closely with the GM and coordinating and influencing functional teams (Sales, Production, CSC) to achieve optimal performance and a seamless, integrated customer experience.
We value leaders who display effective behaviours to ensure a highly motivated team and continually foster best practices.
Your Challenge
Own the Profitability of Our Fleet: You won't just be running trucks; you will be managing a critical P&L lever for the entire NSW/ACT business, translating strategy into bottom-line results.
Commercial Mastermind: Take full responsibility for achieving or outperforming budgeted financial targets for the logistics function.
This means deploying your proven track record in reducing variable distribution costs (freight/m3) and executing aggressive cost-down strategies in procurement and fleet sourcing.
Operational Excellence: Drive maximum fleet utilisation and efficiency.
Your success will be measured by maximizing asset utilisation, such as drastically increasing truck turns per day and average load fill degree.
Strategic Pivot: Lead the logistics strategy to support a "Volume to Value" model.
You will dynamically optimise our network to ensure lowest-cost delivery while prioritising service for our high-margin segments (e.g., Cash-On-Delivery and specialised products like Geostone).
The Future: Driving Green Mobility & Digital Innovation: You will shape the future of our fleet, embedding sustainability and digitalisation into every decision.
Green Fleet Architect: Manage fleet strategy involving electrification (EV agitator trials), alternative fuel trials, and strategic vehicle sourcing.
This work is essential to achieving our company-wide decarbonisation and Scope 3 reduction goals.
Digital Integrator: Leverage our In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) and AI-enabled scheduling systems (Concrete Direct) to deliver operational efficiencies and optimise customer experience.
Compliance Champion: Guarantee full legislative compliance, including strict adherence to all Chain of Responsibility (CoR) requirements for mass, maintenance, and fatigue management.
You will own the compliance program to verify contractor performance.
Lead the Team: Lead a culture of excellence.
