The role 

Sims is building something new - a centralised transport desk that sits at the heart of our ANZ operations and changes how we think about fleet, cost, and service delivery.  

 

It's a step into a high-visibility team at the centre of a major operational change. The kind of role where strong performance gets noticed, and progression is real. As a Transport Coordinator, you'll own real-time allocation across our internal and external fleets, working within a structure that's being built with intention. 

 

This role is based in Mascot with a minimum of four days per week in the office while the team finds its rhythm. 

 

What you'll be responsible for 

  • Own daily scheduling and real-time allocation across ANZ fleets 

  • Act as first point of contact for transport requests, changes, and service issues 

  • Balance cost, service, and operational constraints in live allocation decisions 

  • Monitor fleet and bin utilisation using Talcasoft 

  • Identify opportunities to reduce idle time and improve asset productivity 

  • Maintain accuracy of transport systems to ensure real-time visibility of all movements 

  • Ensure jobs, allocations, and completions are correctly recorded for billing and contractor payments 

  • Raise and manage purchase orders; validate invoices against completed transport activity 

  • Execute allocations within Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and NHVR frameworks 

  • Liaise with customers, suppliers, contractors, and internal teams to keep things moving 

 

About you 

  • Experience in transport allocation or coordination (freight, commodity, export, or logistics) 

  • You make decisions and own the outcome 

  • You build relationships naturally and communicate clearly 

  • Cost and results matter to you 

  • Sound knowledge of CoR and NHVR frameworks. 

  • Tertiary qualification in Transport, Logistics, Business or similar is well regarded 

 

Why join us 

  • One of three newly created roles - Be part of building something from the ground up 

  • Real career progression, within transport and well beyond it 

  • Parental leave: 12 weeks for primary carers, 6 weeks for secondary carers 

  • Health and wellbeing support: BUPA discounts and an Employee Assistance Program 

  • Novated leasing and superannuation sessions
