Hilton Haulage is a diverse, well established organisation offering transport and logistics solutions to a wide range of customers in the primary and secondary sectors. With a head office and operation that started in the Canterbury area, we now have a national presence in a range of industries.

Following the acquisition of a sizeable operation in the North Island last year, we are looking to add a senior role to our team, focusing on and being responsible for all of our milk collection operations, reporting to our Chief Operating Officer.

The successful applicant will have overall accountability for the operational and financial performance of the milk collection operations and will be focused on building and maintaining the appropriate level of customer relationships, maximizing productivity, managing a large team of people, as well as the protection of our people and safety performance.

This role will have a high-level overview of our milk collection operations (with experienced Operations Managers already in place reporting to this role) and will spend a significant amount of time designing and implementing performance standards, KPIs and reporting frameworks.

To be successful in this position you will offer:

  • previous experience working within a milk collection operation at a high level is preferred but not essential
  • proven evidence of leading a team well and getting the best out of the operation
  • strong commercial skills combined with sharp operational skills
  • experience driving change and improvement in the safety space

Ideal applicants will have 5+ years in a senior transport/milk collection management position, with strong customer relationship and interaction skills. Building morale and leading people will be a core strength and will come effortlessly. Having already found and fostered your leadership style, you will be confident and comfortable at making things happen through understanding what your people need to be successful.

If this sounds like the opportunity you have been waiting for and you offer the skills and experience that we are looking for, then please apply online.
