YOUR ROLE

CEVA Logistics is seeking an experienced and commercially astute Site Manager to lead the establishment, launch and ongoing management of a major new fulfilment operation in Jandakot, Western Australia.

Supporting a newly secured contract with a global leader in e-commerce and online retail, this operation will specialise in the fulfilment of medium-to-large consumer goods through a Traditional Non-Sort (TNS) warehouse model.

This is an outstanding opportunity to take ownership of a new operation from the ground up, building a high-performing leadership team, establishing operational processes and delivering a successful transition into a fully operational, 24/7 fulfilment environment.

As the senior operational leader on site, you will have end-to-end accountability for safety, people, customer service, operational performance, productivity and financial outcomes.

We are seeking someone who can commence immediately and undertake international travel in January 2027 for operational training and familiarisation with established overseas operations.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

Specifically, you will:

• Lead the mobilisation, operational readiness, launch and ongoing management of a new, high-volume e-commerce fulfilment centre.
• Establish and lead a high-performing operational management team, creating a strong culture of safety, accountability, engagement and continuous improvement.
• Oversee end-to-end warehouse operations, including inbound receiving, storage, inventory control, picking, packing and outbound despatch.
• Develop and implement operational plans, workforce structures and processes to support a 24/7 operating environment.
• Take ownership of site financial performance, labour productivity, cost management and contractual service delivery.
• Drive operational performance through detailed analysis of KPIs, volume forecasts, productivity measures and customer service requirements.
• Build strong relationships with senior customer stakeholders, acting as the primary operational contact and escalation point.
• Work closely with CEVA's local and international teams to implement established operational standards, systems and best practices.
• Champion a proactive safety culture and ensure compliance with all relevant workplace health, safety, quality and security requirements.
• Identify and deliver continuous improvement initiatives to optimise efficiency, quality and customer experience.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our ideal candidate is an experienced, hands-on logistics leader who combines strong operational knowledge with commercial acumen, analytical capability and exceptional people leadership.

You will bring:

• Proven senior leadership experience in large-scale warehousing, e-commerce fulfilment or third-party logistics (3PL), ideally within high-volume B2C operations.
• Demonstrated success leading site start-ups, operational transitions or major transformations, including complex multi-shift operations.
• Strong commercial and financial capability, including P&L accountability, labour productivity and cost management.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a track record of driving operational performance through data and continuous improvement.
• Exceptional people leadership and customer stakeholder management skills, with a visible, hands-on approach to operational leadership.

Experience with warehouse management systems, high-density storage or Lean methodologies will be highly regarded. You must be able to support a 24/7 operation and undertake international travel in January 2027.

In addition to providing proof of work rights and suitable professional referees, progressed candidates will be required to undergo a medical assessment and national police check.
