The posting

Company Description

ArkNexus is launching a greenfield, fully automated distribution centre powered by a shuttle-based ASRS with high pallet density and tightly controlled system logic.

This is not a traditional, labour-heavy DC leadership role. Success requires strong systems thinking, technical credibility and real-time decision making within a highly constrained automated environment.

You will join during commissioning, shaping operational readiness before taking full ownership of a 24×7 automated site.

Job Description

About the role:

Joining pre–go-live, the DC Manager will support commissioning, testing, and the development of operational processes before taking full ownership of a high-reliability, 24/7 operation. This role is suited to leaders who can build structure and discipline from first principles within a complex, technology-led environment.

Working closely with OEMs and technical partners, you will ensure system performance across mechanical, process and control layers. You will also lead a small, high-performing team while holding full accountability for safety, service, cost and overall site performance (P&L).

Key responsibilities

  • Support commissioning, start-up and transition into steady-state operations, including user acceptance testing, defect identification and operational readiness activities.
  • Hold full accountability for site performance across safety, service, throughput, uptime, cost and financial outcomes, including budgets, forecasts and EBIT.
  • Own end-to-end flow across inbound, storage, shuffling and outbound operations within the constraints of the automated system.
  • Build capability and accountability across a small 24×7 operations team, with particular focus on flow control, escalation and SOP adherence.
  • Maintain a strong on-floor presence, identifying exceptions, congestion, bottlenecks and emerging risks before they escalate.
  • Act as the primary customer-facing operational leader for service delivery, escalations and expectation management.
  • Act as the primary operational interface with OEMs, automation vendors, WMS/WCS teams, IT support and maintenance partners.
  • Drive continuous improvement through disciplined operation, reduction of exceptions, root cause analysis and system optimisation.

About you:

Must-have:

  • Experience in an automated DC, ASRS or advanced manufacturing environment
  • Strong understanding of WMS/WCS-driven operations
  • Proven ability to manage end-to-end flow and real-time decision making
  • Technical understanding of automation systems and ability to troubleshoot across mechanical, system and process issues
  • Experience in high-risk or automated safety environments
  • Capability to lead a small team in a 24×7 operation
  • Demonstrated ownership of site performance and financial outcomes (P&L)
  • Strong problem-solving capability (Lean, CI, root cause analysis)

Highly desirable:

  • Experience in greenfield start-up, commissioning or major transformation
  • Background in ASRS, flow control or automation-heavy operations
  • Proven ability to stabilise and optimise operations post go-live

Qualifications

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in Supply Chain, Engineering, Logistics, Manufacturing or a related field (desirable).
  • Formal training in Lean, Six Sigma or CI methodologies (desirable).
  • Current forklift licence and/or high‑risk work exposure (advantageous).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
