LEAN Agent | Hazelmere WA

The CMA CGM group hosts CEVA Logistics’ Hazelmere operation in Western Australia, a global logistics provider known for connecting people, products and partners across more than 170 countries. CEVA Logistics employs around 110,000 people across roughly 1,500 sites and remains a Top 5 global 3PL. The role on offer is a Lean Agent focused on lifting efficiency, reducing waste and keeping safety and Lean standards front and center. This hybrid position sits in Hazelmere, near Perth, and suits someone who enjoys turning data into practical improvements and coaching teams to raise their game.

In this LEAN Agent role, you’ll partner with regional and industry teams to spot and implement continuous improvement opportunities. Your work will span process re-engineering, designing smarter layouts, and driving efficiency through thoughtful changes in how work gets done. You’ll guide sites through Kaizen activities with training, coaching and data analysis, and you’ll help keep CEVA’s Lean and OHS&E standards in clear view. Across the site, you’ll also build and maintain practical BPE tools like 5S and scheduling tools, performance boards, productivity and utilisation reports, ensuring leaders have the right information to act on.

If you’re drawn to hands-on problem solving, enjoy influencing others, and want to contribute to a safety-first, continuously improving operation, this opportunity could fit you well. It’s a chance to apply industrial engineering know-how in a logistics setting, while benefiting from a company that supports professional development and flexible work arrangements.

Moulding efficiency on the Hazelmere floor

Day to day, you’ll collaborate with sites to refine their processes using established Lean and continuous improvement methods. You’ll lead project work aimed at uncovering opportunities, rethinking processes, and implementing changes that raise efficiency and adjust layouts where needed. A key part of the job is guiding teams through Kaizen activities, providing coaching and training, and leaning on data analysis to back up your recommendations. You’ll also steward the creation and upkeep of practical tools designed to track performance, scheduling and utilisation so managers can act with confidence. Finally, you’ll support the pursuit of target achievements within the site accreditation program, helping operations stay aligned with standards.

What this role calls for and what helps you stand out

This Lean role is best suited to someone with formal industrial engineering training (or a related field) and a track record of applying process improvement in a relevant industry, ideally logistics, manufacturing, resources, or something similar. The team values people who can translate technical concepts into clear, actionable steps and who can influence a range of stakeholders toward shared objectives.

• A tertiary qualification in industrial engineering or a closely related discipline
• Hands-on experience applying process improvement tools and Lean methodologies, including Kaizen
• Clear communication and the ability to influence and manage stakeholders
• Strong analytical skills with a knack for turning data into practical recommendations
• Solid MS Excel capabilities, including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables; knowledge of VBA or macros is a bonus

• Nice-to-have AutoCAD or similar design software
• Experience in logistics or supply chain, manufacturing or resources sectors

Advice for applicants you can put into action

First, lead your resume with your degree in industrial engineering and a concrete example of a Lean or Kaizen project you’ve led, ideally tied to a measurable outcome such as waste reduction or time savings. Make the impact clear and quantify what you achieved when you can.

Second, prove you have the must-have skills by citing specific tools and outcomes. Describe a Kaizen event you ran, how you used 5S principles on a site, and the data you analyzed to drive a layout change or process redesign. If you’ve used Excel to create productivity or utilisation reports, share a brief snapshot of how that data guided a decision.

Third, prepare for the interview by outlining how you’d approach a site accreditation target. Think through the steps you’d take to train teams, measure progress, and sustain improvements across multiple sites, with concrete questions you’d ask the site teams and leaders.

Finally, have a smart question ready to ask the interviewer. For example: how does the site accreditation program define success in the first six months, and what support does the role get to implement Lean changes across Hazelmere teams?
