Warehouse & Dispatch Coordinator
Bunbury Busselton Towing
Job Description
Bunbury & Busselton Towing is a fast-paced towing and transport operation servicing the South West region. We work closely with insurance companies, auctions, dealerships, businesses and the general public to provide reliable towing, transport and storage solutions.
We are seeking an organised, motivated and hands on Warehouse & Dispatch Coordinator to join our team.
This is not a desk-only role. It combines office based dispatch and customer service with hands on yard operations, making it ideal for someone who enjoys variety and is comfortable working both in the office and outdoors. One minute you'll be coordinating tow trucks and speaking with customers, the next you'll be operating a forklift, moving vehicles around the yard or assisting with our salvage operations.
If you have experience in transport, towing, heavy vehicles, machinery, automotive or logistics and enjoy a fast paced environment where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll be responsible for coordinating towing and transport jobs, communicating with customers and drivers, managing insurance work and assisting with the organisation of our vehicle storage yard and salvage operations.
