As a Freight Coordinator your day will start by loading freight into Greyhound transport, ensuring it is secure and well organised. You will then start your drive to Derby, ensuring that all freight is delivered to the correct destinations on time, and arrange pick ups, collections and deliveries with other customers on your run.

You can expect the return trip to take 6-7 hours ( depending on traffic and other variables ). On return you will have a break then head out to pick up Australia Post and hospital freight. You will finish the day sorting mail, local deliveries and accepting freight and enquiries if time permits.

A HR Licence is required and having a Forklift Licence or willing to obtain is essential.
