Location: Morningside QLD

We're on the lookout for an energetic and motivated Operations Supervisor to join our team who support the Containers for Change scheme at our 24/7 Morningside branch. You'll work alongside two other Supervisors and report directly to the Branch Manager, playing a vital role in keeping our logistics and processing operations running safely and smoothly.

Whether it's juggling rosters, solving last-minute issues, or stepping in to support the team, you're dependable, approachable, and driven by a strong sense of accountability. Most importantly, you value safety, service, and teamwork, and you're ready to make a real impact.

What You'll Bring

• Experience managing sizeable teams in a fast-paced blue-collar environment.
• A positive, proactive attitude and a knack for bringing people together
• Experience in logistics, operations, or transport
• Strong communication skills – you're comfortable working with people at all levels, from drivers to senior managers
• A continuous improvement mindset – you're always looking for smarter, safer, and more efficient ways to work
• A strong focus on safety, with sound knowledge of HSE systems and practices
• Intermediate skills in Microsoft Excel and Word
  
  

Why join us?
