• Commercial awareness - you understand how productivity and margin connect


• Calm under pressure, decisive, and accountable for your team's performance


• Clear, confident communicator who stays structured when the pace picks up.

What's on Offer

• The package: $131,107 per annum plus superannuation, a company vehicle, phone and laptop


• Growth: Structured leadership development and regular 1:1s with the Operations Manager
