Job description

Lead the people delivering the work. Build capability, lift standards, and make sure projects are executed safely, efficiently, and consistently.

PBE Rutherford Mining is continuing to grow its project pipeline, delivering complex electrical and infrastructure projects across a range of demanding environments.

As the business grows, so does the need for strong operational leadership across its site-based workforce. This is an opportunity to step into a role where your impact will be felt across every project. Through the people you lead, the standards you set, and the consistency of execution you bring to the field.

Based at Tomago, you’ll oversee a team of electricians, apprentices, leading hands and trade assistants, with regular travel across active project sites in both NSW and Queensland.

You’ll report directly to the Projects Director and work closely with Program Managers, Project Managers, HSEQ, HR, clients, and site management teams.

The distinction is important: the Program and Project Managers run the projects; you own the workforce and site execution.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring labour is effectively deployed, people are developed and supported, and site standards, processes and controls are consistently implemented across the project portfolio.

You’ll be the operational leader for PBE’s site‑based electrical workforce, providing visible leadership across multiple projects and ensuring people, processes and site standards are aligned to deliver safe and effective outcomes.

You’ll be a visible, practical leader who understands that successful project delivery starts with having the right people, capability, structure and standards in place.

Your experience managing or supervising electrical or trade‑based workforces across multiple projects or sites will be highly relevant.

You’ll be comfortable moving between the office, workshop and project sites, building credibility with tradespeople while also engaging confidently with Project Managers, clients and senior leadership.

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a workforce and play a key role in shaping how PBE delivers projects across its growing portfolio.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence not just what gets delivered, but how it gets delivered. Building workforce capability, improving consistency across sites, and creating an environment where people can perform at their best.

If you’re an experienced electrical or trade workforce leader who enjoys being close to the action, developing people, solving operational challenges and raising standards across multiple sites, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact.
