Job Description

Transport is the artery of Coates business and this role puts you in charge of it across three states. As Regional Transport Manager for the South Business Unit, you'll have genuine end-to-end ownership: internal fleet, external contractors, safety, commercial performance, and a geographically dispersed team. You'll sit on the South BU Leadership Team, translating national transport strategy into practical, on-the-ground delivery across VIC, TAS, and SA. This is a role for someone who can operate at altitude and at ground level. You are strategic enough to shape direction, hands-on enough to make it happen.

Job Responsibility

  • Safety leadership: Champion a safety-first culture across all transport operations including internal teams and contractors alike
  • Commercial performance: Own cost management, transport charge recovery, and contractor performance against KPIs and SLAs
  • Fleet & asset management: Oversee the internal fleet including maintenance schedules, asset lifecycle, and utilisation
  • People leadership: Lead, develop and manage a dispersed transport workforce across three states including IR matters
  • Strategy into execution: Take national transport strategies and make them real across your region
  • Data-driven improvement: Use transport systems and performance data to cut waste, lift service levels, and build a case for change
  • Stakeholder relationships: Build strong working relationships with Branch teams, Regional Managers, national functions, and external partners

Requirements

  • Senior experience in transport or logistics leadership, including contractor networks and internal fleet across a multi-site geographic area
  • Strong commercial acumen: budgeting, cost control, contract management, and financial reporting
  • Confident with transport systems and data
  • you translate numbers into decisions, not just reports
  • Sound IR knowledge and experience navigating complex workforce situations
  • Able to operate strategically: you know when to zoom out and when to dive in
  • Resilient and composed under pressure: you hold high standards & maintain relationships
  • High emotional intelligence
  • you can influence diverse stakeholders and handle difficult conversations with professionalism
  • Proven experience in a comparable senior transport or logistics role — or clearly ready for a significant next step
  • Certificate IV in Business Management (desirable, not essential)
