Supply Chain Lead

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic, customer-focused team member with strong leadership potential to join the Heidelberg Materials Australia team in Sale, Victoria (approximately 2.5 hours east of Melbourne).

This role offers excellent career development opportunities, and we actively look to develop and promote from within. With comprehensive on-the-job training across concrete and quarry materials, plant operations, concrete batching, scheduling, and logistics, this position is an ideal stepping stone into future leadership or supervisory roles within our business. You’ll gain valuable hands-on experience while building a long-term career in the construction industry.

People from all industries are encouraged to apply (including hospitality, logistics, agriculture, supply chain, commerce, fast food, manufacturing, mining, or health). You don’t need prior concrete or batching experience — we’re looking for the right person with the right attitude, and we’ll provide full training.

This is a full-time role, Monday to Friday, with early morning starts and rostered Saturday work based on business needs.

In this role, you will:

Oversee the day-to-day operation of a concrete batch plant, taking ownership of outcomes and setting a positive example for others
Operate a front-end loader (training provided if required)
Communicate regularly with customers, including taking orders, scheduling deliveries, and resolving queries professionally
Use computer-based systems for batching, scheduling, reporting, and record-keeping
Work collaboratively with a high-performing local team and neighbouring sites, showing leadership and initiative
Promote a strong safety culture and demonstrate coaching or mentoring capability
Ensure products meet strict quality standards, with strong attention to detail
Monitor plant and equipment performance and coordinate maintenance as required
Plan, organise, and manage maintenance and production tasks, including some manual handling

This role may be a great fit if you:

Are interested in a long-term career with clear pathways into leadership or supervisory roles
Demonstrate natural leadership qualities or the desire to develop them
Are organised, reliable, and take pride in working accurately and efficiently
Are comfortable using computers and learning new systems
Can work independently while also contributing positively to a team environment
Communicate clearly, professionally, and respectfully with customers and colleagues
Are comfortable with a flexible roster that includes Saturday work and reasonable overtime
Are willing to obtain (or already hold) a Construction Card / White Card
Have front-end loader experience (preferred but not essential)
Actively support our Zero Harm safety culture
Are able to safely perform the physical requirements of the role

What we offer:

Competitive hourly rate starting at $30.35, with higher rates up to $33.36/hour based on experience and competency
Monday–Friday work with rostered Saturday mornings (finishing around lunchtime)
Overtime opportunities depending on workload
Front-end loader ticket (if not already held)
The opportunity to join a globally recognised and growing organisation
Ongoing training, development, and clear career progression opportunities
