Ideal Background

• An experienced Service Manager from a trade-based environment
• Willingness to hold or work toward being the nominated Qualified Technical Person (QTP) and/or Qualified Businessperson (QBP) for the business
• Current National Police Check and Blue Card (or willingness to obtain before starting)
