About the Role

Schedulers and allocators are the logistical brains behind the movement of freight and people. They plan and coordinate routes, vehicles, drivers, and cargo to ensure everything runs smoothly and on time.

This role suits highly organised people who enjoy problem-solving, working with data, and communicating across teams. It’s fast-paced and rewarding, with every day bringing a new puzzle to solve.

Schedulers use digital systems to assign jobs, respond to delays, and optimise fleet operations. Whether you’re allocating deliveries for trucks or planning rail freight runs, your work keeps Tasmania’s transport network efficient and cost-effective.

It’s a great career for people looking to step off the tools, move into an office-based role, or transition from retail, hospitality, or admin work. With demand growing and pathways into supervisory and management roles, it’s a future-focused job with room to grow.
