Warehouse & Transport Planner

We're looking for an experienced Warehouse & Transport Planner to become the operational link between our customers, warehouse operations and transport network.

This is a hands-on planning role where every decision you make impacts customer service, warehouse productivity and on-time freight departures.

If you understand transport operations, know how to prioritise warehouse activities around transport schedules and enjoy solving operational challenges in a fast-paced 3PL environment, we'd love to hear from you.

This isn't a warehouse administration role.

We're looking for someone with genuine transport planning, fleet allocation or dispatch scheduling experience who understands how freight moves from warehouse to customer.

Reporting to the Warehouse Branch Manager, you'll coordinate the daily flow of customer orders from warehouse to transport, ensuring freight is planned, prioritised and dispatched safely, accurately and on time.

This is an operational planning role where no two days are the same.

• Planning daily warehouse workflow around transport departure times and customer delivery commitments.

• Coordinating freight bookings, carrier collections and transport dispatch schedules.

• Liaising with Transport Operations regarding fleet availability, freight movements and dispatch priorities.

• Prioritising customer orders to maximise warehouse productivity and transport efficiency.

• Monitoring freight movements and proactively resolving operational issues.

• Coordinating urgent customer requests while balancing operational priorities.

• Managing customer communication regarding dispatch, delivery and freight movements.

• Maintaining accurate information across Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Transport Management Systems (TMS) and operational systems.

• Working collaboratively across warehouse, transport and customer service teams to deliver outstanding customer outcomes.

Warehouse operations run between 6:00am and 6:00pm, Monday to Friday.

Rostered hours will fall within this window.

We're looking for someone who genuinely understands transport operations—not just warehouse administration.

You'll bring:

• Demonstrated experience in transport planning, fleet allocation or dispatch scheduling within a transport, freight or 3PL environment.

• A strong understanding of transport operations, freight scheduling, carrier bookings and delivery timeframes.

• Experience coordinating warehouse activities around transport schedules and dispatch cut-off times.

• The ability to confidently manage multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced operational environment.

• Strong customer service and stakeholder management skills.

• Experience using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management Systems (TMS).

• Excellent organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.

• Strong communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong transport background who enjoys coordinating operations and keeping freight moving.

Applicants with warehouse administration experience only, and without demonstrated transport planning, fleet allocation or dispatch scheduling experience, are unlikely to be successful.
