Visy is seeking a National Pallet Controller to own pallet control outcomes across our Corrugated Packaging division. This is a hands-on national role focused on protecting significant pallet investment, improving operational discipline, and embedding consistent, best practice pallet governance across multiple sites.
This is not an administrative pallet role. It suits someone who thrives on accountability, influence, and driving issues through to resolution.
About the role:
Reporting to the National Logistics Manager, you will be the single point of accountability for national pallet control. Working across 50+ sites, you’ll stabilise the current pallet position, reduce financial exposure, and build a practical, disciplined pallet control framework that works on the ground. With no direct reports, success comes through credibility, persistence, and the ability to lead through influence.
Key focus areas include:
- Establish accurate, reliable visibility of pallet positions across the network
- Identify root causes of pallet losses, variances and imbalances
- Drive corrective actions through to closure, enforcing timelines
- Embed consistent pallet control standards, SOPs and practical training
- Influence sites, partners and providers to lift compliance and discipline
- Surface risks, escalate issues and challenge behaviours when required
- Deliver clear, actionable insights through reporting and analysis
About you:
You’re practical, assertive and outcome focused, comfortable saying “this is what needs to be done, when, and why.” You can work hands- on in operational environments and confidently engage senior stakeholders when escalation is needed.
You’ll bring:
- Experience in pallet control, logistics, transport, warehousing or 3PL environments
- Proven ability to influence without direct authority
- Knowledge of pooled pallet systems (CHEP, Loscam or similar)
- Strong analytical skills with Excel; Power BI exposure desirable
- Tenacity, resilience and discipline to follow issues through
- Comfort working through ambiguity and building structure
This role suits someone who cares deeply about standards, accountability and doing things properly, and isn’t afraid of tough conversations.
What you’ll love when you join us:
- Sustainability: Contribute to sustainability initiatives that make a difference.
- Supportive Environment: Be part of a team that values safety, respect, and collaboration.
- Career Growth: Opportunities for further training and career advancement within the company
