The Opportunity
We're looking for a Workforce Manager who can lead workforce planning in a dynamic, multi‐site environment — balancing commercial outcomes, service delivery and people engagement. This role goes beyond day‐to‐day scheduling; it's about improving how workforce decisions are made, supported and adopted across the business.
You'll partner closely with Sales, Operations, Production and senior leaders to translate demand into labour plans with clear cost, safety and compliance guardrails, while leading your team through ongoing change and improvement.
Core Responsibilities
* Leading strategic workforce planning using data, trends and predictive insights
* Managing a team of Workforce Coordinators through clear priorities, standards and trust
* Working by exception — focusing attention where risk, cost or service thresholds are breached
* Influencing stakeholders (including SLT) through insight‐driven recommendations, not just reports
* Improving team engagement, ownership and capability as operational models evolve
* Balancing labour efficiency, compliance and crew experience in high‐pressure environments
About You?
* Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience
* Demonstrated leadership and management skills
* Strong written and verbal communication, interpersonal, and customer‐service skills
* Ability to successfully interact and support all levels of management within the organization
* Strong analytical ability
* Regional management role/multi location management role
* Excel/data analysis skills
Why Join Us?
* "Great Place To Work" certification, ensuring a supportive and engaging work environment
* Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that foster a welcoming and inclusive workplace for all
* Wellness initiatives to prioritise your physical and mental well‐being
* Ample opportunities for career progression and professional growth
* Commitment to sustainability initiatives, contributing to a greener future
* Salary packaging options
