Job Description - Warehouse Team Leader (Hands-On)
Join Xzibit, a leading exhibition company known for our supportive team culture and exciting projects!
At Xzibit, we pride ourselves on our collaborative, tight-knit team and our commitment to delivering high-quality exhibition stands and museum displays for a diverse range of clients. We believe in working hard, supporting each other, and enjoying ourselves—regular darts tournaments and Friday drinks are just part of our culture!
We're looking for a hands-on Warehouse Team Leader who will lead the warehouse crew from the floor and keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.
Reporting to the Operations Manager (office-based, overseeing multiple teams), you will be the most senior warehouse-based team member on-site. You’ll lead day-to-day warehouse operations and oversee inventory across two warehouses.
Why join us?
Supportive, friendly environment
Competitive pay
Opportunities for growth and development
Work with a great crew on a variety of exciting projects
What You’ll Do:
Hands-on leadership: Lead and mentor a warehouse team of 3 to 4, and work alongside them to ensure picking, packing, loading, unloading, and storage activities are completed accurately and on time.
Warehouse coordination (on-site lead): Be the go-to person on the warehouse floor, keeping work moving, solving problems as they arise, and communicating priorities and issues back to the Operations Manager.
Inventory management (two warehouses): Oversee client inventory, exclusive framing system, hire furniture, and flooring across two warehouses. Ensure items are checked, cleaned, and ready for hire or return. Maintain accurate stock levels and storage trackers. Liaise with the Production Manager regarding repairs and maintenance.
Logistics and prep: Coordinate pickups, deliveries, and vehicle loading/unloading. HR and MR licenses are not mandatory, but would be helpful as part of a shared roster transporting stands to local Brisbane and Gold Coast shows.
Typical Work Week: Standard hours are Monday to Friday. However, due to the nature of the exhibition industry, there will be the rare need for weekend or evening truck loading as part of a shared roster.
Systems & Process: Use and maintain inventory management and IT systems. Set up and monitor stock levels and reordering systems for consumables across two warehouses.
Quality & Safety: Ensure all outgoing items meet company standards. Maintain a clean, organised, and safe workspace. Adhere to and promote safety protocols.
Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements. Participate in project debriefs and contribute feedback for ongoing improvement.
Hands-On Support: Assist with pre-assembly of displays, and demonstrate the ability to pivot and pitch in wherever required.
What We’re Looking For:
Experience in warehouse, event/exhibition, or hire-inventory environments (highly desirable)
Proven leadership and team management skills
Forklift license (mandatory)
Manual driver’s license and MR license (or willingness to obtain MR license)
Physically fit and comfortable with manual handling
Strong attention to detail, order, and cleanliness
Excellent communication and customer service skills
Organisational and time management skills; able to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines
