Operations Supervisor

At Newhaul, we're redefining how logistics works in regional WA. We're driven by simplicity, team thinking, and a relentless desire to make a difference — for our people, our customers, and our communities. As we continue to grow, we're on the lookout for a dependable, hands-on leader to join us in Cue and help oversee critical day-to-day operations.

About the Role
Reporting to the Operations Superintendent, the Cue Supervisor is a critical frontline leadership role responsible for supervising a team of FIFO drivers and loader operators supporting our Iron Ridge Mine operations, as well as the upcoming Beebyn / W11 project launching in July.

You'll also provide on-the-ground support to depot-based drivers servicing these routes, ensuring seamless coordination across all moving parts. This role is hands-on, people-focused, and vital to maintaining operational continuity and strong engagement across a remote team.

This is a FIFO position based out of Cue, operating on a 6 days / 6 nights / 6 off roster, providing a consistent and structured rotation.

We're looking for someone who thrives in a site-based setting, builds trust quickly, and leads by example — someone who is visible, consistent, and can foster a sense of connection for those working remotely.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support Cue-based drivers and loader operators, ensuring clear communication, performance follow-up, and a connected team environment
• Be a regular and visible presence at the mine site (minimum 2–3 site visits per week) to support loader operators and maintain alignment with site stakeholders
• Monitor loader performance and coordinate VOCs, maintenance, and repairs as needed — stepping into operational roles when required
• Oversee the day-to-day running of the Cue depot, including yard management, shift transitions, and ensuring changeover areas are clean, safe, and well-organised
• Support weighbridge operations by conducting inspections, ensuring accurate data capture, and coordinating task allocations for inbound and outbound driver movements
• Manage accommodation logistics for FIFO and depot-based staff — including room allocations, shift change coordination, and liaising with catering providers to ensure food service continuity and satisfaction
• Coordinate and maintain cleaning services for depot accommodation, crib huts, and shared facilities, upholding strict hygiene and presentation standards
• Oversee essential services such as potable water supply, septic system servicing, and timely waste management (including bin rotations and crib hut waste removal) to ensure smooth living and working conditions for all personnel
• Maintain the presentation and professionalism of the site through regular signage checks, hazard controls, and environmental upkeep in line with company standards
• Champion a safety-first culture, reporting and resolving hazards, promoting proactive risk management, and ensuring full compliance with fatigue, WAHVA, and internal safety protocols
• Work collaboratively with your rostered counterpart to ensure leadership continuity and a unified approach to operations and team support

What You'll Bring

• Leadership experience in a transport, mining, or logistics setting (supervisory experience preferred)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to lead a team through clarity and consistency
• Practical mindset and willingness to step into operational tasks when needed
• A passion for connecting remote workers and fostering a positive team culture
• A safety-first approach with an eye for process improvement
• MC licence and loader ticket (highly regarded)
