You will work closely with branch teams, key customers, suppliers, and the senior leadership team to maximise profitability, market share, and customer satisfaction throughout Queensland.

In addition, you will be responsible for overseeing regional capital expenditure (Capex), fleet utilisation, asset lifecycle management, and fleet disposal strategies to maximise return on investment (ROI), return on capital employed (ROCE), and support sustainable business growth across the Queensland region.
