Are You the Right Fit?
We're looking for someone who blends operational discipline with values‑driven leadership.
You'll ideally have:
* Experience as an Operations Manager or in a senior operational leadership role
* Experience in manufacturing, trades, construction or industrial sectors (desirable)
* High attention to detail
* A genuine "roll up your sleeves" approach that inspires and motivates your team
* Confidence stepping into the trenches when needed, leading by example and supporting your people on the ground
* A strong track record in team culture development and delivering operational/financial outcomes
* Demonstrated ability to optimise operations using systems and technology
* Advanced understanding and experience with ERP systems is required
