Voltex Electrical is one of Australia's fastest-growing electrical accessories businesses. We design our own products, sell direct to electricians, and back it with the best customer service — no middlemen, no run-around.

Our distribution presence in Melbourne is the next big step. Going live in early 2027, we need the right person on the ground from October this year to help build it, lead it and make it the benchmark for how a Voltex warehouse runs

That's where you come in…

This is a Melbourne-first leadership role with real autonomy — you’ll help set up the site, hire the team, and establish the standards that will define the DC long term.

What you’ll do

• Run daily floor execution across receiving, picking, packing, dispatch and inventory flow; keep the operation on time and smooth during peaks.
• Lead and develop the team: set standards, coach performance, manage rostering, and address issues early.
• Own accuracy and inventory discipline (cycle counts, discrepancy resolution, reducing errors).
• Embed safety and compliance in partnership with the safety officer, maintain equipment and storage standards.
• Drive practical continuous improvement to remove bottlenecks and lift speed/quality.
• Key link between warehouse and Supply Chain / Customer Service.
• Report to the Operations Captain.
• Directly manage up to 6 people initially, growing to 9 over the following few months.

Requirements

• Proven warehouse leadership experience across end-to-end floor ops (receiving → dispatch)
• Strong people leadership: coaching, standards, accountability, rostering/performance management
• Track record improving accuracy, flow, and team performance
• Safety-first mindset and confidence operating within OHS expectations
• Practical continuous improvement approach (standardise, simplify, uplift)
• Comfortable with technology and warehouse systems; openess to using AI tools to improve day to day operations
• Willingness to travel for onboarding. We’ll fly you to Adelaide for a paid 2-week immersion (home weekends), plus 1 week in Sydney — so you can help launch Melbourne with proven systems.

Benefits

This is a high-ownership role with real influence. You won’t be inheriting a rigid operation — you’ll be helping shape how the Melbourne DC runs.

• Paid onboarding immersion in ADL + SYD (all travel covered; home weekends)
• Stable roster / predictable hours
• Opportunity to shape layout, tooling and workflows as the site ramps up
• Clear growth pathway as the Melbourne DC scales
• Accessible location with parking available
