Company Overview
South East Queensland Hauliers (SEQH) is a full-service wharf logistics provider located just five minutes from the Port of Brisbane. Founded in the 1960s, SEQH has grown into one of Queensland’s largest import/export carriers while remaining proudly family owned and operated.
With facilities in Hemmant and Toowoomba, we are investing in major infrastructure upgrades in 2025 due to strong business growth. Join a company that values people, embraces innovation, and leads the way in logistics and biosecurity operations.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Export/Import Manager to lead our biosecurity and customs division. Internally, this role is known as the Biosecurity, Customs & Logging Administration Lead.

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you’ll work closely with warehouse and logging teams to ensure smooth, audit-ready operations.
Why This Role Is Available
Our long-standing Biosecurity Lead is transitioning out of the full-time role to pursue a personal venture outside the industry. Their contributions have been instrumental in building the strength of the team, and they will remain connected with SEQH in a casual support capacity.
This change, combined with the ongoing growth in our services, has created an exciting opportunity for a new leader to step in and guide the next stage of our biosecurity and customs division.
Biosecurity Division Growth
SEQH’s biosecurity services have expanded rapidly, with a new wash bay opened and another underway at the Port of Brisbane. We’ve also added export cotton inspections to our offerings. This role is critical in supporting and shaping this fast-growing division.
