  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills — professional, clear, and friendly

  • Strong computer literacy across Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook) with the ability to learn new systems quickly

  • High attention to detail and a proven ability to juggle multiple tasks and competing priorities

  • Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team

  • Professional telephone manner and a warm, welcoming approach to front-of-house duties

  • Genuine enthusiasm, positive energy, and a motivated, can-do attitude

  • Current Australian driver's licence

Bonus if you have

  • Experience in the transport, logistics, or resources sector (highly regarded)
