About the Opportunity
Stockwells now has an exciting opportunity for a full-time Transport Allocator to join their team in Hendra, Brisbane.
Reporting to the State Manager - QLD, you will be primarily responsible for the prompt and accurate allocation and delivery of all FCL cargo unpacked from both in-house and external warehouses.
More specifically, some of your day to day duties will include:
- Collating and recording of all FCL jobs;
- Time slotting, allocating and controlling workflow of company Drivers and Sub-Contractors involved in deliveries, using the CargoWise system;
- Monitoring rail movements and containers undergoing ex wash / AQIS control;
- Obtaining time slots from the wharf, liaising with clients, and advising them of impending deliveries;
- Transferring all non-allocated work at the end of day for the following day; and
- Conducting all activities in accordance with the quality management system.
This position will play a pivotal role in the future growth of the business, by expanding on the capacity of the current team and allowing room for an increase in sales and workload.
About You
If you have 1-2 years' transport allocation experience within international trade, and are looking to further your career in this space - this is the role for you!
An understanding of truck fleets, Driver operations, and warehouse operations is required. Although training will be provided, it's key you be a self-starter who is able to work autonomously.
Due to the fast-paced and high-pressure nature of this role, you'll often encounter competing priorities and tight deadlines. As such, you'll need to demonstrate the ability to stay calm, manage time and solve problems on your feet. A meticulous eye for detail is imperative. Competency in the use of computer programs is also required, as you will be using the CargoWise system to manage daily allocation.
Most importantly, Stockwells is looking for someone with strong communication skills and ability to effectively engage with internal and external stakeholders. You'll genuinely enjoy liaising with others, maintain a customer service focus at all times, and understand how to best manage client needs.
Please Note: A current Driver's License is a key requirement of this position.
About the Benefits
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established international organisation and develop your career in the transport/freight space.
A family owned business, Stockwells has a close-knit culture and ongoing opportunities to up-skill and progress - it's no wonder turnover is low with a large portion of team members celebrating 10+ years with the company!
In return for your hard work and dedication, you will be offered an attractive base salary of $55,000 plus super, and opportunities to earn more through overtime rates during early-morning starts.
