We’re looking for a highly organised and proactive **Livestock Transport Coordinator** to join our Logistics team at Silver Fern Farms. This role plays a vital part in ensuring the smooth coordination and dispatch of livestock from our valued farmer suppliers to our processing sites across Aotearoa.

Working closely with our Livestock Transport Manager, you’ll manage day-to-day scheduling, liaise with transport providers, and support ongoing optimisation of our digital systems. You’ll help resolve invoice queries, support pricing and contract arrangements for special movements (like inter-island and grazing), and ensure that we’re running an efficient, accurate and compliant transport service.

This is a fast-paced and collaborative role that will see you working closely with our wider Livestock network, software system partners, and third-party transporters. You’ll be part of a supportive and committed team that values clear communication, shared success, and continuous improvement.

- Proven experience in transport, logistics or livestock-related industries
- Confident negotiation and dispute resolution skills
- Strong administrative skills and attention to detail
- Commercial acumen and the ability to work with contracts and pricing
- Excellent communication and relationship management skills
