  • Manage project risks, budgets, milestones and stakeholder expectations

  • Facilitate cross-functional collaboration between operations, engineering, commercial and support teams

  • Provide regular project updates to senior leadership

  • Deliver projects safely, on time, within budget and aligned to business objectives

What we're looking for

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

  • Proven experience managing projects within warehousing, logistics, supply chain, transport, cold storage, manufacturing or industrial operations
  • Strong understanding of warehouse operations, logistics processes and supply chain workflows
  • Experience evaluating operational improvement opportunities and developing business cases
  • Ability to influence and engage stakeholders across multiple business functions
  • Strong commercial and financial acumen
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent projects
  • Excellent communication and relationship management skills
  • A practical, solutions-focused approach with the ability to translate operational needs into deliverable projects
Highly regarded
  • Experience within cold storage, 3PL, transport or distribution environments
  • Capital works, infrastructure or operational improvement project experience
  • Formal Project Management qualifications
The Opportunity

At Lineage, we're on a mission to transform the food supply chain and eliminate waste while helping feed the world.

You'll join a collaborative team where your expertise will directly influence operational performance, customer growth and strategic decision-making across our Australian business.

What we offer
  • Competitive salary package

  • Annual incentive opportunity

  • Career development within a global industry leader

  • Employee Assistance Program

  • Paid volunteer leave

  • Employee benefits and retail discounts

  • A values-driven culture focused on Safety, Trust, Respect, Innovation and Growth

Why Lineage?
 

Lineage is more than just a cold storage logistics business. We’re focused on being a vibrant, innovative and progressive employer where all our teams work safely, harmoniously and efficiently toward a common purpose - transforming the food supply chain to eliminate waste and help feed the world.
