Confidence in managing daily operations, rosters, and incident responses
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
Great organisational and planning ability, with high attention to detail
Strong computer and technology skills
Bonus points if you have:
Experience in public transport, logistics, or a similar large operating environment
Knowledge of compliance, safety, or regulatory requirements in operations
What You’ll Do
Lead and support a team of up to 45 drivers and cleaners, ensuring they’re engaged, safe, and delivering great service
Manage daily depot operations: bus dispatch, rosters, parking, and on-the-day service adjustments
Ensure compliance with health, safety, and wellbeing processes—making safety a top priority in all interactions
Oversee incident management, ensuring quick response, accurate reporting, and a people-first approach
Partner with HR, training, and workshop teams to support recruitment, onboarding, training, and fleet maintenance
Build positive relationships with customers, unions, and contractors while ensuring service and business KPIs are met
Drive improvements in efficiency, compliance, and customer experience
What You’ll Get
The chance to lead a team and make a real impact in daily transport operations
A role with variety; no two days are the same
Support from a wider network of managers and teams across Ritchies
Opportunities to grow your leadership skills and career in a large, established transport business
