  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with a proven ability to build relationships with stakeholders
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills with a “can-do” mindset
  • Deep operational knowledge of fleet management, logistics planning, and cost control
  • Expertise in safety leadership and financial management

Why Join us?

  • Play a key leadership role in one of NZ’s most respected logistics providers
  • Be part of a collaborative and innovative team that values continuous improvement
  • Membership to the Cardinal Perks Program (discounts with some of NZ’s major retailers)
  • Life insurance
