You'll spend a significant amount of your day operating a forklift, moving stock and working across receiving, picking, packing and dispatch, while also taking responsibility for inventory accuracy, stock control, warehouse organisation and process improvement.

As a newly created role, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of how the warehouse operates, improve existing processes and help build an efficient warehouse function that can keep pace with a growing business.

What you'll be responsible for

• Taking ownership of the day-to-day running and organisation of the warehouse

• Regular forklift operation and hands-on movement of stock throughout the warehouse

• Receiving, checking, storing, picking, packing and preparing orders for dispatch

• Maintaining accurate inventory records and strong stock control

• Managing cycle counts and stocktakes and investigating inventory discrepancies

• Coordinating excess stock movements and transfers to our 3PL warehouse

• Managing CHEP pallet transfers and balances

• Ensuring all stock movements and transfers are accurately recorded in our systems

• Making sure orders are picked and prepared accurately and within required timeframes

• Maintaining a clean, organised, safe and efficient warehouse environment

• Coordinating and providing direction to casual warehouse support when required

• Working closely with our Supply Chain and Operations teams

• Identifying opportunities to improve warehouse layouts, workflows and processes

• Implementing practical improvements to increase efficiency, accuracy and safety

About you

We're looking for someone who knows warehouse operations inside and out and is comfortable taking ownership.

You'll bring:

• Previous experience managing a warehouse or working in a senior warehouse role

• A current forklift licence with strong, recent practical forklift experience

• Strong experience across inventory management and stock control

• Experience with receiving, stock movements, picking, packing and dispatch

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

• A good understanding of warehouse WHS requirements

• Confidence using warehouse, inventory or ERP systems

• The ability to prioritise and stay organised in a fast-paced environment

• A practical, proactive and solutions-focused approach

• The confidence to identify when something isn't working and implement a better way of doing it

Experience with 3PL stock movements, CHEP/pallet management and manufacturing or FMCG environments would be highly regarded.

Why join We Are Tailored?

This is an opportunity to step into a newly created role with genuine ownership.

You'll have the autonomy to improve how the warehouse operates, introduce better processes and play an important role in supporting a growing Australian beverage manufacturer.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being on the floor and on the forklift, but also has the experience and initiative to step back, see the bigger picture and keep improving the way things are done.

If you're looking for a fast-paced, hands-on warehouse role where you can take ownership and make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
