Job Description:

About the company Winstone Aggregates, part of the Fletcher Building group, is a market leader in New Zealand’s heavy materials sector, supplying essential aggregates into infrastructure, construction and major project customers nationwide. Operating within a complex, asset-intensive and operationally driven environment, Winstone Aggregates combines scale, capability and market reach to deliver critical materials that underpin the country’s growth. An opportunity now exists for a commercially astute National Transport Manager to lead and transform the transport function, positioning it as a key driver of both performance and competitive advantage. About the role Reporting to the General Manager and sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, this role will lead the national transport strategy across a large, geographically dispersed network. You will be accountable for delivering safe, efficient, and commercially optimised transport operations, while driving a step-change in productivity, utilisation, and profitability. This includes resetting pricing frameworks, lifting market connectivity, and embedding a disciplined, data-led approach to performance. This role goes beyond operational leadership — it requires a leader who can think commercially, influence across the business, and position transport as a strategic lever for growth, customer value, and market differentiation.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead the national transport strategy across a complex, multi-site operational network
  • Deliver productivity, utilisation, and cost optimisation outcomes, including clear performance metrics (e.g. $/km, revenue/km, fleet utilisation)
  • Reset and embed pricing frameworks to ensure sustainable profitability and commercial discipline
  • Drive technology adoption, including Transport Management Systems (TMS), to enable real-time visibility and optimisation
  • Partner closely with Sales to grow volumes, improve fleet utilisation, and enhance customer value propositions
  • Strengthen market connectivity, including backloading strategies and alternative contracting models
  • Lead major commercial initiatives across pricing, customer engagement, and service delivery
  • Build and lead a high-performing, geographically dispersed leadership team
  • Champion a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and high performance
  • Deliver data-driven insights to inform decision-making, forecasting, and strategic planning
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Sales, Finance, and wider business units to align on customer outcomes
  • Contribute at SLT level, influencing enterprise-wide strategy with both commercial and operational perspectives

Requirements:

  • Senior leadership experience within transport, logistics, infrastructure, or heavy industrial sectors
  • Strong commercial acumen across pricing, cost optimisation, margin management, and revenue growth
  • Proven success in driving productivity and utilisation improvements in large-scale operations
  • Experience implementing systems and technology (e.g. TMS) to enhance performance and visibility
  • A track record of leading and developing high-performing, geographically dispersed teams
  • The ability to influence across functions and align sales, operations, and customer outcomes
  • Strong strategic thinking combined with disciplined execution and delivery
  • Experience operating at executive or senior leadership team level
What we offer:
  • Key member of the SLT
  • Role with impact
  • Career growth and development
