• Conducting load inspections (walk-arounds, OSD reports) to identify loose, unsecured, or damaged cargo before departure
• Coordinating timber and stool preparations with transport companies ahead of load-out and discharge
• Liaising with site contacts - sending departure notifications, daily updates, and convoy handover coordination
• Reviewing rail requests and ensuring all permits, TPO details, transport drawings, and approvals are in order
• Ensuring correct freight, lashings, and restraints are on trailers in line with training and regulations
• Completing 4-days-out checklists, vehicle pre-starts, convoy reports, Take 5s, workplace inspections, and hazard observations
• Supporting HSE compliance - conducting workplace inspections and task observations every shift, and participating in incident investigations

The Right Person
 
You're someone who takes ownership, looks out for the team, and doesn't wait to be told what to do. You anticipate issues before they become problems, communicate clearly up and down the chain, and genuinely care about getting the job done safely and right. You'll fit in well if you bring a team-first attitude and hold yourself to a high standard.
