Description:
Oreco Group have an immediate opportunity for a Transport & Logistics Manager to join our busy manufacturing facility in Childers, Queensland.
Oreco Group is a 100% Australian owned and operated business with over 40 years of experience in agricultural and horticultural manufacturing. We are looking for an experienced Operations Manager, with a long-term vision to lead our Transport & Logistics operations.
The role will see you scheduling and maintaining our fleet of trucks and trailers, overseeing the load configurations, overall compliance and COR, as well as most importantly looking after our dedicated drivers and logistics teams.

Overseeing our Diesel and AdBlue usage.
The core requirements for this role include:
-
Prior logistics operations and/or fleet management experience.
-
Great planning, coordination, and computer skills.
-
In depth truck, trailer, and maintenance knowledge.
-
Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
