Loading Dock & Support Coordinator – Cushman & Wakefield
Cushman & Wakefield has announced a job opening for a Loading Dock & Support Coordinator to join its onsite team supporting one of Australia’s largest retailers, according to the company’s careers page. The role, based in Australia, is described as critical to maintaining operational efficiency at the retail client’s facilities.
The position requires managing loading dock activities, coordinating with warehouse and logistics teams, and ensuring compliance with safety and operational standards. Responsibilities include overseeing freight movements, monitoring dock schedules, and collaborating with suppliers and internal stakeholders. The role also involves troubleshooting logistical challenges and supporting inventory management processes.
Cushman & Wakefield, a global real estate services firm, did not provide additional details about the specific retailer or the timeline for filling the position. However, the job posting highlights the importance of the role in enabling seamless supply chain operations for the client, which is likely a major supermarket or retail chain given the scale of the partnership.
The hiring move aligns with broader trends in Australia’s retail sector, where companies are increasingly prioritizing logistics optimization to meet consumer demand and reduce operational costs. According to a 2025 report by the Australian Industry Group, 68% of retailers have expanded their warehouse and distribution teams over the past two years to improve efficiency.
A spokesperson for Cushman & Wakefield stated that the firm continues to invest in talent to support its clients’ evolving needs. “This role reflects our commitment to delivering end-to-end solutions that enhance supply chain performance,” the statement said.
The job posting emphasizes the need for candidates with at least three years of experience in logistics or warehouse management, strong organizational skills, and an understanding of safety regulations. Applicants are also required to demonstrate proficiency in coordinating cross-functional teams and managing high-volume operations.
While the exact location of the role was not specified in the posting, the reference to “Australia’s largest retailers” suggests the position could be based in a major metropolitan area such as Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane. These cities are home to the headquarters of several national retail chains, including Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi.
The recruitment comes amid a period of growth for Cushman & Wakefield in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2025, the firm reported a 12% increase in revenue from its logistics and supply chain services division, driven by demand for specialized workforce solutions.
Industry analysts note that roles like the Loading Dock & Support Coordinator are becoming increasingly vital as retailers seek to balance cost management with service quality. “Efficient dock operations can reduce delivery times by up to 20%,” said Sarah Lin, a supply chain consultant at KPMG Australia. “This role is a key link in ensuring that retailers meet their operational goals.”
Cushman & Wakefield’s client, the unnamed Australian retailer, did not respond to requests for comment. However, the company’s partnership with the firm underscores the growing reliance on third-party logistics providers to manage complex distribution networks.
Candidates interested in the position are encouraged to apply through Cushman & Wakefield’s official careers portal. The firm has not specified a deadline for applications, but the posting remains active as of July 2026.
The job opening also highlights the broader demand for skilled logistics professionals in Australia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the logistics and transport sector added over 15,000 jobs in the 12 months leading up to June 2026, reflecting the industry’s critical role in the national economy.
