MOVe Logistics Group is one of New Zealand’s most trusted and leading transport and logistics companies, proudly listed on the NZSX. With over 150 years of serving New Zealand’s supply chain, we’ve grown from humble beginnings into a network of passionate and dedicated professionals working together to design effective supply chain solutions for our customers.

We’re looking for an experienced, transport-savvy Dispatcher to join our Freight team on a fixed term basis for 6 months (November 2026 - May 2027). This is not an entry-level dispatch role — we need someone who understands how freight moves, knows the pace and pressure of a transport environment, and can confidently coordinate trucks, drivers, freight movements, and customer expectations across a busy operation.

This role offers the opportunity to join a well-established, nationwide company with exciting career growth prospects for the right candidate.

About the Role:

As a Dispatcher, you will coordinate and schedule MOVe trucks to ensure customer freight is moved safely, efficiently, and on time. You will be planning loads, allocating drivers and equipment, monitoring freight movements, managing changes throughout the day, and solving issues as they arise. This role requires strong transport industry knowledge, sound geographical awareness, and the ability to make practical decisions in a fast-moving operational environment.

What We’re Looking For:

We are looking for someone who brings practical transport and freight experience, not just general administration or coordination skills. The ideal candidate will have:

·         Previous experience in transport, freight, logistics, fleet coordination, or a similar operational dispatch environment.

·         A strong understanding of freight movements, load planning, driver allocation, route planning, and day-to-day transport operations.

·         Confidence communicating with drivers, customers, operations teams, and external stakeholders.

·         The ability to stay calm, make decisions, and think on your feet when plans change or pressure increases.

·         Strong organisational and analytical skills, with good attention to detail and accuracy.

·         Solid geographical knowledge of New Zealand and an understanding of how distance, timing, driver hours, and operational constraints affect freight planning.

·         A practical, solutions-focused approach and the confidence to prioritise competing demands.

·         A team-player attitude, with the ability to build strong relationships across drivers, customers, and internal teams.

·         A forklift licence with OSH and F endorsement would be an advantage, as there may be times where practical on-floor support is required.

What We Offer:

·         A positive, supportive, and professional work environment.

·         Competitive salary aligned with your skills and experience.

·         Opportunities to grow and develop within a nationwide company.
