Looking to lead a national transport network that’s transforming how we deliver to customers across Australia? This is your chance to shape the future of last mile logistics at scale - where innovation meets impact, and every delivery counts.

At Bunnings, we’re building the best...our team makes it happen. As our new National Transport Manager - Last Mile Network, you’ll take the reins of a high-performing team and drive the strategy, systems, and service that power our B2B and B2C deliveries across e-commerce, store network and fulfilment locations. If you’re ready to lead with purpose, embrace digital tools, and make a real difference - this is the role for you.

What’s involved

• Lead a national team across multiple sites, creating a culture of performance, learning, and support.
• Shape and deliver our last mile transport strategy, balancing service excellence with cost efficiency.
• Embed smart digital platforms to boost visibility, traceability, and customer satisfaction.
• Optimise delivery methods, partners, and channels to support scalable, flexible solutions.
• Use data to drive decisions, improve KPIs, and unlock continuous improvement.
• Collaborate across the business and with external partners to enhance our transport capability.
• Champion safety, compliance, and operational excellence across all modes of delivery.

• Strong demonstrated leadership skills and the ability to lead interstate teams
• A track record of optimising networks, partners, and delivery models for performance and cost.

• Sharp analytical skills and the ability to turn data into action.
• Strong leadership skills with a focus on coaching, mentoring, and team development.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
