Inbound Team Leader – 3PL Warehousing

Lead the floor. Own the inbound operation. Build a team that gets it done.

If you’re an experienced warehouse leader who likes being on the floor, amongst the action and leading from the front, this could be the role for you.

CRL Express is looking for an experienced Inbound Team Leader to take ownership of our day-to-day 3PL inbound operation. You’ll lead the team through the shift, keep freight moving safely and accurately, solve problems as they happen, and make sure the operation delivers against customer expectations.

This isn’t a “sit in the office and send emails” leadership role. You’ll be allocating the work, running pre-starts, coaching your team, coordinating inbound deliveries and stepping onto the floor when the workload calls for it.

About CRL Express

Since starting in 2018, CRL Express has grown from a linehaul transport operator into a national logistics business offering Road Freight, 3PL Warehousing & Distribution, National Linehaul, Rail Freight, Air Freight and Contracted Logistics services across Australia.

We’re growing quickly, and we want leaders who bring initiative, accountability and a genuine drive to make things better, not people who simply maintain the status quo.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take the lead across the inbound shift, including:

• Leading, motivating and supporting the inbound warehouse team
• Allocating daily tasks, equipment and resources
• Running pre-start meetings and ensuring effective shift handovers
• Coordinating inbound trucks and containers
• Making sure freight is unloaded, checked, receipted, labelled and put away correctly and on time
• Checking freight documentation, including Dangerous Goods declarations and labelling
• Coaching team members and addressing performance issues early
• Working closely with Stock Control and Customer Service to resolve discrepancies
• Ensuring movements and transactions are accurately recorded in CartonCloud WMS
• Supporting cycle counts, location audits and stock accuracy
• Maintaining strong WHS, Dangerous Goods and Chain of Responsibility standards
• Jumping in to unload, receive and put away freight when the operation needs an extra set of hands.

What we’re looking for

We don’t just need someone who knows warehouses. We need someone who knows how to lead people in one.

You’ll ideally bring:

• 5+ years’ experience in logistics
• 3+ years’ experience in a supervisory role
• Strong experience with inbound receiving, put-away and inventory control within a warehouse or 3PL environment
• A current forklift licence
• Dangerous Goods Awareness Training
• Experience using a WMS, with CartonCloud experience highly regarded
• Knowledge of WHS/HSE, Dangerous Goods, Load Restraint and Chain of Responsibility requirements
• Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with employees, drivers, contractors, customers and other operational teams
• The ability to coach, delegate and hold people accountable
• A level head when priorities change and the warehouse gets busy.

If you’re ready to take ownership of an inbound operation and lead a team that takes pride in getting the job done properly, we’d like to hear from you.
