$130,000–$160,000 + Super | Full-Time | Metro & Regional QLD Travel

A leading national logistics group is looking for a Transport Manager to take ownership of contractor performance, driver standards, and delivery execution across Queensland. This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role with real impact — combining safety, compliance, performance analysis, and contractor engagement.

The Role

You’ll oversee a large pool of contractor drivers across Queensland, with responsibility for assessing operational standards, enforcing compliance, managing cost, and improving performance across the board. The role is field-based, involving regular site visits and ride-alongs with drivers during afternoon and evening delivery windows.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct on-site driver assessments and audits across metro and regional QLD, focusing on safety, tailgate use, roll cages, loading/unloading and SOP compliance.

Manage and review contractor performance against KPIs like on-time delivery, cost per shipment, and damage rates.

Conduct regular reviews and audits with contractors — including focused action plans for underperforming drivers.

Own and manage contractor onboarding, agreements, and vetting using a centralised platform.

Implement a non-conformance register and ensure follow-through to lift standards.

Maintain full compliance with regulations, SLAs, and company policies through risk assessments and structured audits.

Monitor and report on transport spend, identify cost-saving opportunities, and support commercial negotiations.

Collaborate with planning and ops teams to optimise logistics flows and implement process improvements.
