Who are Direct Couriers?

Direct Couriers is an Australian-owned courier company established in 1983 and now one of the leading logistics and transportation providers across Australia and New Zealand. With over 1,500 team members, we deliver reliable same-day, overnight and international solutions for businesses of all sizes.

At Direct Couriers, our people are at the centre of everything we do. We pride ourselves on a supportive, inclusive workplace where team members are treated like family and encouraged to grow. We invest in our people, promote from within wherever possible, and hire with the future in mind, not just for today's role, but for the opportunities ahead. If you're looking for a workplace that values development, teamwork and long-term careers, you'll feel right at home here.

What's the role?

Based out of our Perth Branch, as an Operations Coordinator you will play a key role in keeping our freight moving safely and efficiently. You will monitor your allocated channel, prioritise jobs and allocate them to the most suitable driver and vehicle, and follow work through to completion. You'll support drivers with route guidance and queries, keep an eye on vehicle capacity and Chain of Responsibility requirements, and work closely with Dispatch, Customer Service and Fleet to resolve issues as they come up.

This position suits someone who is analytical, organised and calm under pressure, and who takes pride in keeping a busy operation running smoothly.

Why should you apply?

This role offers the chance to build genuine operational expertise within the logistics and transport industry. You'll gain a broad understanding of how a national transport network runs day to day, working closely with drivers, customer service and fleet teams. No two days are the same, you'll be prioritising, problem-solving and making the calls that keep our customers' deliveries on track.

If you're organised, level-headed and enjoy being the person who keeps things moving, this role will give you real ownership and the opportunity to grow with a well-established company.

What you need is:

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate the following:

• Excellent listening, written and verbal communication skills
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise multiple tasks
• A high level of attention to detail
• A sense of initiative, urgency and flexibility
• An analytical, systematic approach with sound problem-solving ability
• Patience and the ability to handle difficult situations calmly and professionally
• A good understanding of freight handling and fleet operations is highly regarded but not essential, full training will be provided

We are looking for someone who is reliable, proactive and a strong team player, who wants to grow with the business and take on increasing responsibility over time.

If you are seeking a full-time opportunity with a well-established company that values its people and offers a dynamic, supportive work environment, we would love to hear from you.
